Inspire Medical Systems develops and sells a minimally invasive implantable device for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Its lead product, the Inspire system, uses implanted neurostimulation to activate the hypoglossal nerve, which moves the tongue and other airway muscles to keep the airway open during sleep. Patients control the therapy with a small handheld remote. The system targets adults with moderate to severe OSA who cannot use or benefit consistently from CPAP. Unlike non-implant options, Inspire provides a hands-free, on-demand airway support during sleep and is the first FDA-approved neurostimulation treatment for OSA. The company differentiates itself by offering a clinically approved implantable alternative to CPAP, backed by a direct US sales force and a network in Europe. Its goal is to provide an effective, durable option for patients who struggle with CPAP, expanding access to neurostimulation therapy to improve sleep quality and health outcomes.
