Bipolar Electrode for the Soft Palate
Volume reduction of the soft palate: A treatment to reduce or eliminate velar snoring on an out-patient basis. It is simple, and no specific follow-up treatment is required.
RaVoR™ of the Soft Palate
In the recent years Radiofrequency Volume Reduction (RaVoR™) has become the standard surgical procedure to treat habitual snoring and mild sleep apnea. Multiple clinical studies confirmed the efficacy and the clinical benefit of the treatment (abstracts see link list).
This minimally invasive treatment method preserves structures and function of the soft palate. RaVoR™ is performed under local anesthesia; it can easily be combined with other treatments, e.g. RF-UPPP or CPAP treatment
