ImThera Medical

ImThera Medical is a medical device company based in San Diego, California. The company's mission is to help patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) live longer and enjoy a better quality of life while significantly reducing the healthcare costs associated with severe OSA-related complications. ImThera’s sleep apnea implant is based on neurostimulation technology, providing muscle tone to key tongue muscles during sleep, thereby opening the upper airway and significantly reducing or eliminating OSA events. It is estimated that 28 million Americans suffer from OSA. Although CPAP is the established therapy, studies show that less than 50% of patients adhere to CPAP treatment. ImThera’s THN Sleep Therapy System is a proprietary treatment solution that holds promise for ushering in a new era of sleep apnea treatment.
