Who Might Be a Good Candidate for Inspire?
If you’ve been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and traditional treatments like CPAP haven’t worked for you, you might be wondering if there’s another solution. At Silenso Clinic in San Diego, we help evaluate patients for Inspire therapy—a breakthrough, FDA-approved alternative to CPAP for treating moderate to severe OSA.
Inspire therapy has helped many qualified patients manage their obstructive sleep apnea. Our team will work with you to determine if it may be a clinically appropriate option based on your individual evaluation. You may be a candidate if you:
- Have been diagnosed with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea
- Are unable to tolerate or get consistent benefit from CPAP
- Have a Body Mass Index (BMI) within Inspire’s recommended range
- Do not have complete concentric collapse of the airway (confirmed during DISE evaluation)
Our team at Silenso Clinic can help determine whether you meet these criteria and guide you through the next steps.
What Happens During Evaluation?
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation and a specialized procedure called Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy (DISE), performed by Dr. Paul Schalch Lepe. DISE allows us to examine the upper airway while you’re sedated to determine the exact cause and location of your airway obstruction.
If Inspire therapy is deemed appropriate, we will coordinate your next steps right here in our San Diego facility.
