Abstract

The invention provides an implanted soft palate support and an implantation method. The implanted soft palate support is a flat implant made of a material which can be implanted into human body for a long and medium term, and consists of a hard palate connecting end and a support. A connection structure connected with the hard palate is provided on the hard palate connecting end; the support is a flat implant which can be inserted into the soft palate; and the hard palate connecting end is connected on the support. The implanted soft palate support can effectively support a dented soft palate and can relieve the upper airway obstruction condition so as to realize the purpose of treating OSAHS and snoring. The clinical application proves that the method and the implanted support have the advantages of small wound, fast recovery, quick effect and reliable efficacy, thus realizing the purpose of minimally invasive treatment. In particular, for a patient who is implanted with the implanted soft palate support, the supporting degree of the implanted soft palate support is regulated within a certain range by regulating the shape and the curvature of the implanted soft palate support under the condition of induced sleep and the monitoring of an electronic laryngoscope to achieve the best treatment effect, and the implanted soft palate support is rather popular with patients.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to an implantable soft palate support body, in particular to an implantable soft palate support body for treating adult obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and an implantation method. Background technique

[0002] Obstructive sleep apnea / hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a sleep-disordered breathing disorder characterized by snoring and apnea, which is caused by the collapse and blockage of the upper airway during sleep. disease. Even according to the lowest diagnostic standard, the prevalence of OSAHS is about 4% in adult males and about 2% in females, which seriously threatens the life and health of patients.

[0003] For the pathogenesis of OSAHS, it is generally believed that the main reason is soft tissue collapse and obstruction due to the relaxation of the pharyngeal expander muscles that maintain the upper airway open during sleep, and the obstruction planes are mostly located in the soft palate, tonsils, and ton...
