Palatal implants for the treatment of snoring

How does Elevo® differ from other palatal implants for the treatment of snoring?

The Elevo® Snoring Intervention Set contains three fully resorbable suture implants, which reduce the risk of extrusions that may occur with non-resorbable implants. The implants are composed of polydioxanone, which has been found to be non-antigenic and degrades into two substances that are both endogenous to the body: lactic acid and water. The material is completely reabsorbed into the body within six months post-procedure.1 The Elevo Snoring Intervention Set is intended for use in stiffening the soft palate, which may reduce the severity of snoring in some individuals. It is indicated for symptomatic, habitual, and social snoring due to palatal flutter.

Effective procedure After the lifting and stiffening action created in the soft palate, patients experienced a 30.3% reduction in sVAS at 180 days post-procedure.1 Office-based approach The Elevoplasty® procedure can be performed under local anesthesia in an office setting without the need for surgery. Ease of use The set comes pre-assembled in a sterile tray, which only requires the physician to open the package; the physician can be ready to perform the procedure from beginning to end without having to prepare or assemble the device in advance.
