About Inspire Medical Systems
Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. is a medical technology company headquartered in Golden Valley, Minnesota (USA), dedicated to the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The company develops and markets Inspire® therapy, a mask-free, implantable solution for patients who cannot be adequately treated with CPAP. The system consists of the Inspire® implant, which keeps the airway open during sleep, a remote control for switching the therapy on and off, and an app for tracking sleep goals and exchanging data with care providers. Implantation is performed surgically by an ENT physician; according to the company, the therapy is the first FDA-approved therapy of its kind for the treatment of OSA and has been in use for more than ten years. Inspire was founded in 2007, when the Inspire technology and an extensive IP portfolio were spun off from Medtronic (NYSE: MDT). The company supports patients through a 24/7 hotline, webinars and a Patient Experience Reporting (PER) system.
