What is the Elevo Snoring Invention Set?

Created by Zelegent, Inc. and distributed by Cook Medical, the Elevo Snoring Intervention Set is a product designed to enhance patient treatment for snoring. The set is used to perform Elevoplasty®, a procedure that provides lift and stiffening to the soft palate through the placement of three bi- directional, barbed resorbable suture implantsa.

The concept of the set was developed by Drs. Yosef P. Krespi and David O. Volpi. Their goal was to develop a minimally invasive procedure which could be performed by sleep specialty otolaryngologists to treat snoring at the palatal level without the need for invasive surgery.
 
The Elevo Snoring Intervention Set is intended for use in stiffening the soft palate tissue, which may reduce the severity of snoring in some individuals. It is indicated for symptomatic, habitual, and social snoring due to palatal flutter.

 The Elevoplasty procedure provides lift and stiffening to the soft palate through the placement of three barbed, resorbable sutures.
