100th Inspire Therapy Procedure Completed at Saint Vincent Hospital

Jason Kass, MD, an ear, nose, and throat surgeon completed his 100th Inspire Therapy procedure today. Inspire is an implantable device that is an alternative treatment for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who are unable to tolerate sleeping with a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, approximately 20% of people in the US experience at least mild symptoms of sleep apnea, with 1 in 15 people experiencing moderate to severe symptoms. Congratulations to Dr. Kass and his team on achieving this milestone!
