Sleep Apnea and Snoring

The Pillar^® Procedure

A minimally invasive treatment for snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)

Now there's a simple, safe, minimally invasive treatment for snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Unlike other painful and invasive surgical procedures, the Pillar^® Procedure is a simple treatment that your doctor can perform in a single, short office visit or in combination with other procedures.

During the Pillar Procedure, tiny polyester implants are placed into the muscle of the soft palate. Over time, the implants, together with the body's natural fibrotic response, add structural support to and stiffen the soft palate. This structural support and stiffening reduce the tissue vibration that can cause snoring and the palatal tissue collapse that can obstruct the upper airway and cause obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
