| Popis: | OBJECTIVE: To evaluate repelling magnetic implants to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) using a canine model.STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: Magnetic forces equivalent to effective CPAP were estimated with benchtop studies. An acute canine model was used to simulate pharyngeal collapse. Tolerance, safety, and stability of the implants were evaluated in a chronic series of 10 dogs observed over 6 months.RESULTS: Equivalence to CPAP (10-12 cm H20) was achieved with low-force ( |
