Noninvasive Remedy for Sleep Apnea Sufferers

By HospiMedica International staff writers
Posted on 22 Jul 2009
A noninvasive fabric product could help millions of sleep apnea and snoring sufferers, as well as their partners, finally get a good night's rest. More...


The SnoreSling is an adjustable snoring chinstrap that wraps underneath a person's jaw and over the head. The lightweight, breathable fabric distributes tension evenly across the head, alleviating pressure points. As a result, the jaw stays closed, the tongue does not fall back, the airway is more open, and sleep can occur without disturbances. The SnoreSling features three flexible adjustment points, machine-washable soft fabric, and cutouts for the ears to comfortably accommodate most users. The SnoreSling is a product of Dr. SleepGood (Oak Park, CA, USA)

"I just wanted to develop a simple, comfortable remedy to a condition that almost ruined my life," said SnoreSling inventor Scott Hardy, who suffered from extreme sleep apnea for most of his life. "Sleep is not a luxury - it is a necessity. Now with the SnoreSling, sleep apnea and snoring sufferers, as well as their bed partners, can consistently enjoy a good night's sleep.”

Sleep apnea and excessive snoring often are caused by the tongue falling back into the throat, thus blocking the airway and forcing the sleeper to wake up and adjust position. This can occur multiple times every hour, rendering restful sleep impossible. If a person can somehow close his or her mouth while sleeping, however, then the tongue will not fall back, and sleep may not be disturbed.
