ImThera Medical Inc ^Company

ImThera Medical is a San Diego, California based medical device company. The company’s mission is to help Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) patients live longer and enjoy better lives while substantially reducing the health care costs related to the serious complications associated with OSA. ImThera's sleep apnea implant is based on neurostimulation technology, delivering muscle tone to key tongue muscles during sleep, hence opening the upper airway and substantially reducing or eliminating OSA events. An estimated 28 million Americans suffer from OSA and while CPAP is the established therapy, studies show that less than 50% of patients comply with CPAP therapy. ImThera's THN Sleep Therapy System is a proprietary therapeutic solution that promises an exciting, new era in sleep apnea treatment. www.ImTheraMedical.com.
