Genio® Therapy for
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
in Houston TX

A New Option for Better Sleep

Genio® is an FDA‑approved treatment for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) that offers relief without a mask. It is designed for adults who cannot tolerate or no longer benefit from CPAP, oral appliances, or other standard therapies.

What is
Genio® Therapy

Genio® Therapy is an FDA approved treatment for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. It offers a mask free alternative for patients who cannot tolerate or no longer benefit from CPAP, oral appliances, or other standard therapies.

The system uses a small battery free stimulator placed under the chin in a one time outpatient procedure. At night, an external activation chip is worn under the chin with a disposable adhesive patch. The stimulator gently activates the tongue muscles to keep the airway open while you sleep.
