    • An implant for treating obstructive sleep apnea includes a first chamber (26) containing an incompressible fluid (34), a second chamber (28a, b) containing a compressible fluid (36a, b), and a flexible diaphragm (30, 32) separating the first and second chambers. The incompressible fluid is in communication with the compressible fluid via the flexible diaphragm. The first chamber has a first volume that remains constant in response to an external force applied upon the implant and the second chamber has a second volume that is changeable when the external force is applied upon the implant. The flexible diaphragm is extendible into the second chamber for reducing the second volume of the second chamber and compressing the compressible fluid within the second chamber. The compressible fluid within the second chamber provides less resistance to flexing during initial flexing of the implant and more resistance to flexing during further flexing of the implant.
    • 用于治疗阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停的植入物包括含有不可压缩流体(34)的第一腔室(26),包含可压缩流体(36a,b)的第二腔室(28a,b) 第一和第二室。 不可压缩流体通过柔性隔膜与可压缩流体连通。 第一腔室具有响应于施加在植入物上的外力而保持恒定的第一体积,并且第二腔室具有当外力施加在植入物上时可变的第二体积。 柔性膜片可延伸到第二腔室中,用于减小第二腔室的第二体积并压缩第二腔室内的可压缩流体。 第二室内的可压缩流体在植入物的初始屈曲期间提供更小的抗弯曲性,并且在植入物的进一步弯曲期间具有更大的抗弯曲能力。

    • A system for treating obstructive sleep apnea includes a first element (20) implantable in a tongue and a second element (30) implantable between muscle planes of an inf ramandibular region. The second element has a first end coupled with the first element and a second end coupled with a hyoid bone for preventing the base of the tongue from collapsing against an opposing pharyngeal wall during sleep. The first and second implantable elements have outer surfaces that are substantially impermeable to tissue in-growth to allow for post-surgical adjustment or removal, if necessary. The first implantable element is elongated and includes a first end, a second end, and a center section located between the first and second ends. The center section is implantable in the tongue, and the first and second ends of the first implantable element are advanceable beneath the tongue for being coupled with the anterior end of the second implantable element.

    • A method of treating obstructive sleep apnea includes providing an elongated element having a central buttress area and first and second arms extending from opposite ends of the central buttress area. The method includes implanting the central buttress area in a tongue so that a longitudinal axis of the central buttress area intersects an anterior-posterior axis of the tongue. The first and second arms are advanced through the tongue until the first and second arms engage inframandibular musculature. Tension is applied to the first and second arms for pulling the central buttress area toward the inframandibular musculature for moving a posterior surface of the tongue away from an opposing surface of a pharyngeal wall. The first and second arms are anchored to the inframandibular musculature for maintaining a space between the posterior surface of the tongue and the opposing surface of the pharyngeal wall.

    • An implant for treating medical disorders includes a first chamber having a flexible outer layer that surrounds a flexible inner layer, a second chamber in communication with the first chamber, and a fluid transfer assembly adapted for transferring fluid between the second chamber and the first chamber for selectively modifying the rigidity of the first chamber. The implant includes at least one restraining element in contact with the flexible outer and inner layers for at least partially restricting volume expansion of the first chamber as the fluid is transferred into the first chamber. The first chamber is adapted to become more rigid as the fluid is transferred into the first chamber and more flexible as the fluid is removed from the first chamber. The first chamber is implantable within the soft tissue of a patient such as a tongue, soft palate, pharyngeal wall, urinary tract, rectum, trachea, or stomach.
