INSP Profile
Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. is a leading medical technology firm specializing in innovative solutions for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The company is dedicated to developing and commercializing minimally invasive therapies aimed at improving patient outcomes and enhancing the quality of life for individuals affected by this condition. Operating both in the United States and internationally, Inspire Medical Systems focuses on advancing neurostimulation technologies to address the challenges associated with OSA.
The company’s flagship product, the Inspire system, represents a breakthrough in neurostimulation technology. This device provides a safe and effective treatment option for patients suffering from moderate to severe OSA. The Inspire system works by delivering targeted stimulation to the hypoglossal nerve, which helps to prevent airway collapse during sleep. This approach offers a valuable alternative to traditional continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, particularly for patients who have not responded well to conventional treatments.
Inspire Medical Systems is also pioneering a novel, closed-loop solution designed to further enhance the efficacy of its treatment. This advanced system continuously monitors the patient’s breathing patterns and delivers mild hypoglossal nerve stimulation as needed to maintain an open airway. The closed-loop technology represents a significant advancement in personalized medicine, as it adjusts therapy in real-time based on the patient’s physiological needs.
Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Golden Valley, Minnesota, Inspire Medical Systems operates at the forefront of sleep apnea treatment innovation. The company’s commitment to research and development is evident in its continuous efforts to improve and expand its product offerings. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and focusing on patient-centric solutions, Inspire Medical Systems aims to lead the field in providing effective, minimally invasive therapies for obstructive sleep apnea, ultimately contributing to better health outcomes and enhanced quality of life for patients worldwide.
