The PILLAR PROCEDURE provides a safe, effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea and socially disruptive snoring.

The PILLAR PROCEDURE addresses one of the anatomical components of sleep apnea and snoring:  the soft palate.  During the procedure, three tiny inserts made from a soft, woven, polyester material used in implantable medical products for more than 50 years.are placed in the soft palate to help reduce both the vibration that contributes to snoring and the ability of the soft palate to obstruct the airway. Once in place, the Pillar inserts add structural support to the soft palate.  Over time, the body's natural tissue response to the inserts increases the structural integrity of the soft tissue.
