Introduction and Outline

iNAP®- Intra-oral Negative Pressure Therapy is an innovative treatment option designed to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with a comfortable sleep experience. It provides gentle negative pressure within the oral cavity and pulls the tongue and soft palate forward during sleep. This reduces or eliminates the upper airway obstruction and allows OSA patients to enjoy refreshing and uninterrupted sleep.

Unlike traditional CPAP machines, the iNAP® works without a facial mask or a bulky machine and instead uses a discreet soft oral interface and a battery-powered console, making it an ideal sleep therapy system.
