Utility
Method and Process for Placement and Fixation of a Surgical Implant
27 Oct 22
A method of treating obstructive sleep apnea according to this disclosure may include: providing an implant comprising a substantially planar central body portion having a top side and a bottom side; at least two adjustable wing portions; and at least two connecting members, each one of the at least two connecting members extending from opposite sides of the central body portion, the each one of the at least two connecting members being configured for flexibly connecting each one of the at least two wing portions at opposite sides to said central body portion; forming a surgical opening to expose a genioglossus muscle; exposing a branch of a hypoglossal nerve for stimulation by the implant at least on one side of the geniouglossus; forming at least one pocket on at least one side of the geniouglossus; such that the pocket dimensions are configured to fit the at least one of the at least two wing portions of the device; inserting an implant device through the surgical opening such that the central body extends over the genioglossus and each one of the wing portions is received in the respective at least one pocket; and securing the implant device to the muscle.

Utility
Method and System for Electrical Nerve Stimulation
30 Jun 22
Disclosed herein is a method for electrical nerve (510) stimulation, the method comprising: generating an electrical stimulation pattern (100) comprising a plurality of successive pulse trains (110), wherein each pulse train (110) has a pulse train amplitude (111); delivering the electrical stimulation pattern (100) to a subjects hypoglossal nerve (510) with a stimulator (300) having at least one electrode (310); modulating the electrical stimulation pattern (100), wherein modulation of the electrical stimulation pattern (100) comprises gradually increasing the pulse train amplitude (111) from one pulse train (110) to a successive pulse train (110) at stimulation onset (101) until a determined target stimulation amplitude (130) is reached; characterized in that modulation of the electrical stimulation pattern (100) further comprises decreasing the target stimulation amplitude (130) to a defined step-down amplitude (140) within each pulse train (110) after the target stimulation amplitude (130) was reached.
