Description
Pillar Procedure® Soft Palate Implant System
PDS3000M
Pillar® Soft Palate Stiffening System consists of a pre-loaded delivery tool and a woven biocompatible implant made of polyethylene terephthalate material (commonly used for implantable sutures since 1940). The delivery tool consists of a handle and a 14-gauge needle which is inserted into the soft palate to deploy the implant. Each implant is approximately 18 mm in length and has an outer diameter of approximately 2 mm. The body’s natural fibiotic response to the implants adds structural support to stiffening the soft palate. By stiffening the soft palate, the Pillar Procedure helps to reduce the primary cause of the utter or vibration that results in the snoring sound, as well as the tissue collapse than can block the upper airway and cause obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
