Inspire | Alternative to CPAP
No mask. No hose. Just sleep.
Inspire for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is the first and only FDA approved implantable device for treating OSA. It works from inside the patient’s body with their natural breathing.
Dr. Cilento is proud to be the first surgeon to offer this innovative, life changing technology to Spring, Houston and the Woodlands. He's also been recognized as a physician of excellence by the Inspire Institute.
The patient turns on and operates the Inspire sleep apnea device via a handheld remote. The remote allows the device to deliver a mild stimulation to key airway muscles. This helps keep the airway open while they sleep.
How Inspire Works
Inspire works inside your body while you sleep. Your surgeon performs a simple outpatient procedure to implant the device. When you're ready for bed, click the remote and turn Inspire on. A gentile pulse opens your airway while you are asleep. This allows you to breathe normally.

Costs for Inspire for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
We get asked often, "Will insurance cover Inspire for Sleep Apnea." The answer is, most major insurance companies cover the procedure. However, some will only approve the therapy based on medical necessity. Patients can typically expect to pay the cost of any unmet deductible for the year, as well as any required copay/coinsurance fee for the procedure.
Our patient care coordinator will work with you to determine what costs will be covered by your insurance.
