    • An airway implant device for maintaining and/or creating an opening in air passageways is disclosed. Methods of using the device are also disclosed. The airway implant device includes a deformable element to control the opening of an air passageway and a tether. Preferably the deformable element is an electroactive polymer element. Energizing of the electroactive polymer element provides support for the walls of an air passageway, when the walls collapse, and thus, completely or partially opens the air passageway. Also disclosed is an implant for stabilizing the tongue, the implant having an anchoring portion for securing a first end of the implant with the mandibula; a control portion connected with the anchoring portion, configured for selectively activating the implant; a flexible portion connected at its proximal end with the control portion, where the flexible portion has three-dimensional flexibility in a first state and where the flexible portion has a lesser three-dimensional flexibility in a second state, and where the flexible portion is selectively switchable between the first and second state by the control portion; and an anchoring portion for connecting the implant with the base of the tongue connected with the distal end of the flexible portion. Methods of treating airway disorders such as sleep apnea and snoring with the airway implant device are disclosed herein.
    • 公开了一种用于在空气通道中保持和/或形成开口的气道植入装置。 还公开了使用该装置的方法。 气道植入装置包括可变形元件以控制空气通道和系绳的打开。 优选地,可变形元件是电活性聚合物元件。 电活性聚合物元件的通电在壁塌陷时为空气通道的壁提供支撑,并因此完全或部分地打开空气通道。 还公开了一种用于稳定舌头的植入物,该植入物具有用于将植入物的第一端固定到下颌骨的锚定部分; 控制部分,其与锚定部分连接,被配置为选择性地激活植入物; 在其近端处与控制部分连接的柔性部分,其中柔性部分在第一状态下具有三维柔性,并且其中柔性部分在第二状态下具有较小的三维柔性,并且其中柔性部分选择性地 通过控制部分可在第一和第二状态之间切换; 以及锚定部分,用于将植入物连接到与挠性部分的远端连接的舌状物的基部。 本文公开了用气道植入装置治疗呼吸道疾病如睡眠呼吸暂停和打鼾的方法。

    • An airway implant device for maintaining and/or creating an opening in air passageways is disclosed. Methods of using the device are also disclosed. The airway implant device comprises an actuator element to control the opening of an air passageway. Preferably the actuator element is an electroactive polymer element. Energizing of the elctroactive polymer element provides support for the walls in order to prevent the collapse of an air passageway. Some embodiments of the invention include a sensor capable of sensing the possible occurrence of an apneic event and activating the actuator element of the airway implant device. Some embodiments include a housing designed to conform to the shape of the palate. Some embodiments include an attachment element to secure the device to tissue. Methods of treating airway disorders such as sleep apnea and snoring with the airway implant device are disclosed herein.
