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 .
