Inspire® Therapy at Southcoast Health

Inspire therapy is a mask‑free treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) designed for patients who have tried CPAP but could not tolerate it. 

Instead of using air pressure and a mask, Inspire works inside your body to keep your airway open while you sleep. 

How Inspire Therapy Works 

  • Monitors your natural breathing 
  • Gently stimulates airway muscles 
  • Prevents the tongue from blocking airflow 
  • Helps restore normal breathing during sleep 
  • Simply turn therapy on at bedtime using a small remote. 

What to Expect

Before: Sleep evaluation and specialist consultation 
During: Outpatient implant procedure 
After: Device activation and personalized adjustment 

Southcoast accepts most major health insurance plans. Ask your sleep provider if Inspire therapy is right for you or Learn more by contacting us.
