Genio for Sleep Apnea

Metroplex Ent & Allergy now offers Genio®, an FDA-approved treatment for moderate to  severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). Genio therapy is a mask-free option that works by stimulating the hypoglossal nerve on both sides of the tongue to contract the tongue muscles  and keep the airway open throughout the night. 

The Genio System combines a battery-free stimulator with a sleep wearable that externally  powers the device. The implantable stimulator is placed under the chin during a one-time outpatient surgical procedure. The sleep wearable combines a disposable patch with an  external battery, also called an activation chip, worn under the chin while sleeping. Genio therapy is activated approximately 8 weeks post procedure, when it can be controlled through  an optional smartphone app that offers device usage tracking and the ability to adjust therapy  within a predefined range. The activation chip is charged daily via a small portable charger  wherever is convenient, even during travel

Genio therapy has been clinically proven to significantly reduce sleep apnea events, with high  rates of daily use and patient satisfaction*. You may be eligible for Genio if you are over 22  years old, have a recent sleep study indicating an AHI between 15-65, have a BMI that is less  than 32 and can no longer tolerate or benefit from current standard of care treatments such as lifestyle modification and positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy.
