Antisnoring TSD
The aveoTSD (TONGUE
STABILIZING DEVICE ) anti-snoring aid has been developed for the
alternative treatment of SNORING and OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNOEA
(OSA). The aveoTSD is made from a soft medical silicone for
comfort and works by holding the tongue forward by suction
preventing it from falling back against the back of the throat ,
potentially keeping the airway open during sleep .
The aveoTSD is a non-adjustable universal device that is cost
effective and simple to use.
At this stage randomised cross over studies
have not been published only subjective patient impressions.
The safety and effect of long term usage of suction
on the tongue for 7-8 hrs a night have not been established.
Can be useful as a trial device to assess patient
response to the effect of tongue clearance of the throat and for
patients with limited teeth making them not suitable for the
MDSA.
Subjective reports state only around 20% of
patients can tolerate wearing the device due to effect on the
tongue and gag reflex.
As this is a new concept only time will establish
its validity in treatment and safety.
Approved by the F.D.A in the U.S.A as a medical device .
