This invention provides a device for treating snoring, comprising a support segment with a connecting segment at its tail end. The support segment is composed of multiple elastic keels, each connected at its tail end to the connecting segment. Each elastic keel expands outwards when the support segment is extended. It also includes an insertion tube, which is hollow and allows the support segment to retract and be placed within it. The support segment, which can be inserted into the pharynx for further expansion, opens the airway and prevents snoring caused by soft palate or pharyngeal collapse. After the support segment is delivered to its position via the insertion device, the device is dislodged, allowing the support segment to expand and support the soft palate or posterior tongue root. Alternatively, it can be delivered to a designated location via a delivery tube, and by pulling the inner core outwards, the elastic keels of the support segment bend and expand to support the soft palate or posterior tongue root, thus opening the airway and treating snoring. This method does not require removal of the soft palate and therefore does not affect the patient's eating.

An applicator apparatus has a delivery tube with differently curved tube sections along the length of the delivery tube so as to be tailored for airway topicalization during video laryngoscopy. The apparatus aims to enhance the precision and effectiveness of airway topicalization, particularly in scenarios where conventional applicators encounter challenges due to the acute angle of the laryngoscope blade. By conforming to the shape of the video laryngoscope, a sigmoidal shape of the delivery tube facilitates precise targeting of glottic structures and the posterior pharynx. This innovation is particularly beneficial for short procedures requiring endotracheal intubation, as proper topicalization is known to reduce coughing and bucking on extubation, mitigating potential surgical complications and minimizing the aerosolization of respiratory particles and viruses.
