Abstract: Systems and methods implant structures in, on, or near the floor of the mouth. The structures can be sized and configured to resist buckling of tissue structures in, on, or near the floor of the mouth in a cranial direction. The systems and methods can also be sized and configured, singly or in combination, for stabilizing a hyoid bone, and/or stabilizing a tongue, and/or suspending a tongue, and/or providing neuro-muscular stimulation of tissue structures in, on, or near the floor of the mouth.

Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods constrain and/or support tissue structures along an airway.

Abstract: Therapeutic and diagnostic systems and methods help an individual with a sleep disordered breathing condition, such as habitual snoring or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), achieve deep, restorative sleep. The systems and methods include component that serve complementary sensing, monitoring, and corrective or diagnostic functions.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electrosurgical probe, in particular for electrocoagulation, comprising a handle and a shaft, the shaft being joined to the handle and having at least two electrodes offset from each other in the axial direction of the shaft, with one electrode closer to the handle forming a proximal electrode and one electrode more distant from the handle forming a distal electrode, wherein said electrodes each form an electrically conductive outer surface of the shaft and are electrically insulated from each other by an insulator, the outer diameter of the two electrodes and the outer diameter of the insulator being approximately the same, wherein a bite piece made of a biocompatible and preferably soft material is provided near the handle on the outside of the shaft in the region of the proximal electrode.
