    • Apparatus and methods are provided for treating sleep apnea, snoring, and the like using an implant within an oropharyngeal region adjacent an anterior longitudinal ligament. The implant includes an endless loop defining a curved central region between first and second regions in a horizontal plane. The central region is vertically narrow relative to the first and second regions, and the first and second regions are compressible vertically to allow the first region to be directed through or behind the ligament adjacent the oropharyngeal region such that the central region is disposed within or behind the ligament. The first region is resiliently expandable after passing through or behind the ligament to contact tissue adjacent the oropharyngeal region. The first and second regions are compressible into a “C” shape within the horizontal plane, yet biased to expand and apply a force to dilate the tissue adjacent the oropharyngeal region.
    • 提供了使用邻近前纵韧带的口咽部区域内的植入物来治疗睡眠呼吸暂停,打鼾等的装置和方法。 植入物包括在水平面中限定第一和第二区域之间的弯曲中心区域的无限循环。 中心区域相对于第一和第二区域是垂直窄的,并且第一和第二区域是可垂直压缩的,以允许第一区域被引导通过毗邻口咽区域的韧带中或后面,使得中心区域位于或后面 韧带。 第一区域在通过或穿过韧带后可弹性膨胀以接触邻近口咽区域的组织。 第一和第二区域在水平面内可压缩成“C”形,但是被偏压以膨胀并且施加力以扩张毗邻口咽部区域的组织。
