Devices for treatment of sleep apnea |
摘要 |
A method for delivering energy as a function of degree coupling may utilize an external unit configured for location external to a body of a subject and at least one processor associated with the implant unit and configured for electrical communication with a power source. The method may determine a degree of coupling between the primary antenna and a secondary antenna associated with the implant unit, and regulate delivery of power to the implant unit based on the degree of coupling between the primary antenna and the secondary antenna. |

1. A system for the treatment of sleep apnea, the system comprising:
a flexible carrier; at least one pair of stimulation electrodes disposed on the carrier; and a neurostimulation device configured to transfer power to the at least one pair of stimulation electrodes; wherein the flexible carrier is configured for location proximate to a genioglossus muscle of a subject such that the at least one pair of stimulation electrodes cause dilation of an airway of the subject solely through stimulation of a portion of the subject's hypoglossal nerve through application of an electric field to a single section of a medial branch of the hypoglossal nerve distal of a terminal bifurcation of the hypoglossal nerve into lateral and medial branches. |
