<h2 style="white-space:pre-line"><span style="color:#236fa1">How Does Elevoplasty® Work?</span></h2>
<p>Elevoplasty® is a minimally-invasive, office-based procedure that works like “a face lift for the soft palate”®.</p>
<p>Elevoplasty® provides a therapeutic option for the patient who suffers from simple Snoring (without sleep apnea). It is an alternative for those patients seeking relief from snoring who are not interested in wearing an oral appliance at night and who do not wish to undergo invasive, often hospital based, surgery. Elevoplasty is a minimally-invasive procedure that is performed in a doctor’s office. Using specially-shaped sutures, the procedure lifts and stiffens the soft tissue at the top and back of the mouth, (the soft palate) to reduce or eliminate snoring.*</p>

List

This provides lift to the soft palate without surgery, thereby alleviating snoring by three mechanisms.

<p>1. Shortening: Making the soft palate slightly shorter reduces the chance of the soft palate obstructing the airway during sleep.</p>

Custom Device Engineering

<p>2. Lifting: Lifting the palate reduces the chance of the soft palate obstructing the airway during sleep.</p>

Regulatory Compliance Support

<p>3. Slight, secondary scarring of the soft palate makes it slightly shorter and stiffer.</p>
