Somnoplasty from SomnusTM is an office based procedure performed using local anesthesia to treat upper airway obstructions. Somnoplasty uses controlled low-power radiofrequency energy to create one or several submucosal lesions which heal in 6-8 weeks, reducing the tissue in the area and stiffening the remaining tissue. Somnoplasty has also been shown to effectively reduce tongue-tissue volume for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. It is a feasible and safe method for palate-tissue reduction for the treatment of habitual snoring. And Somnoplasty has also proven effective in the improvement of nasal obstruction caused by turbinate hypertrophy. With an ever-expanding list of potential clinical applications, the Somnoplasty platform technology promises a future of continued innovation and leadership in the treatment of upper-airway obstructions. |
