The Encore system is a minimally invasive surgical procedure kit designed to provide airway stabilization via anterior suspension of the Hyoid and/or Tongue Base with adjustable sutures. Both procedures are FDA cleared for individual use or when performed in conjunction. These techniques are often combined with other airway surgical procedures to address multiple points of obstruction that are contributing factors in the majority of patients suffering with Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
Place two Suspension Sutures (for bilateral support) in a single pass of the Revolution in seconds (not minutes or hours)
