ImThera Medical, now part of LivaNova, designs and manufactures a fully implantable device for treating obstructive sleep apnea. The THN Sleep Therapy system aims to restore muscle tone to key tongue muscles during sleep, widening the upper airway and reducing or eliminating apnea events without relying on external devices. The company operates within the medical equipment manufacturing industry and targets individuals with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea who cannot, or choose not to, use PAP therapy or other treatments. Based in San Diego, California, ImThera Medical has a small team and is now integrated into LivaNova, with the broader organization continuing to pursue related sleep-disordered breathing technologies. A U.S. FDA IDE program supports clinical evaluation of the therapy for eligible patients, reflecting ongoing research into its safety and effectiveness.
