    • 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 a deformable element to control the opening of an air passageway. 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. Methods of treating airway disorders such as sleep apnea and snoring with the airway implant device are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the airway implant device includes a self-charging element. The self-charging element is typically an electroactive polymer which generates energy during its movement and this energy is used to activate the deformable element of the airway implant device.
    • 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的开口。 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为空气通道的壁提供支撑,当壁崩溃时,从而完全或部分地打开空气通道。 本文公开了用气道植入装置处理呼吸道疾病如睡眠呼吸暂停和打鼾的方法。 在一个实施例中,气道植入装置包括自充电元件。 自充电元件通常是在其运动期间产生能量的电活性聚合物,并且该能量用于激活气道植入装置的可变形元件。

    • 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 electroactive 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.
    • 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。 气道植入装置包括用于控制空气通道的开口的致动器元件。 优选地,致动器元件是电活性聚合物元件。 电活性聚合物元件的通电为壁提供支撑以防止空气通道的塌陷。 本发明的一些实施例包括能够感测呼吸暂停事件的可能发生并激活气道植入装置的致动器元件的传感器。 一些实施例包括设计成符合腭形状的外壳。 一些实施例包括用于将装置固定到组织的附接元件。 本文公开了用气道植入装置处理呼吸道疾病如睡眠呼吸暂停和打鼾的方法。
