Apparatus and methods for treatment of obstructive sleep apnea utilizing cryolysis of adipose tissues

PendingUS20260199127A1Tongue rootAnatomy
A heat exchanger is disclosed for causing cryolysis of adipose tissue of a human tongue. The heat exchanger includes a body having cooling channels for circulating fluids therein. The body forms a contact surface that contacts a portion of the dorsal surface of the tongue and a portion of the base of the tongue. The heat exchanger includes a pair of side walls extending from the body and forming a pair of side contact surfaces that are dimensioned so that they contact the dorsal and lateral surfaces of the tongue in a manner so as to constrict the tongue when the contact surface is in contact with the tongue. A method of treatment for apnea using the heat exchanger and / or administering a chemical adipolysis formulation / vasoconstriction agent is also disclosed.

Mandible displacement adjustment device

ActiveUS12667480B2Tongue rootMANDIBULAR PAIN
A mandible displacement adjusting device includes an upper braces and a lower braces, wherein the upper braces and the lower braces have an upper teeth accommodation space and a lower teeth accommodation space, the upper teeth accommodation space and the lower teeth accommodation space are made based on the tooth shape, and fits on the upper and lower dental arches of the human body respectively, and the side walls of the upper braces and lower braces extend out a first positioning part and a second positioning part corresponding to the upper molar area and the lower molar area. When the user wear the upper braces and the lower braces, the first positioning part and the second positioning part would be driven to fit together, and maintain a movable displacement space, so that when the mandible of the human body is moved forward and fixed, it will not cause the mandible of the human body due to tightening, neither cause the discomfort at the condyle, while avoiding the back of the tongue slumping down and blocking the breathing passage.

A device for treating snoring

ActiveCN224269564Uprevent movementprevent snoringSnoring preventionTongue rootPalate muscle
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.
