Restore Medical
Download detailed PDF Members: Restore Medical, Inc. develops, manufactures and markets our proprietary Pillar® palatal implant system, or Pillar System, an innovative, minimally invasive, implantable medical device to treat sleep disordered breathing, which includes obstructive sleep apnea, or OSA, and snoring. During the Pillar Procedure, a physician places three small, braided, proprietary polyester implants into the muscle of the soft palate. These Pillar implants stiffen and add structural support to the soft palate, minimizing or eliminating the palatal tissue fluttering or vibration that can cause snoring and the retropalatal collapse that can obstruct the upper airway and cause OSA. We currently market and sell our Pillar System to otolaryngologists (ear, nose and throat physicians, or ENTs) and to a limited number of oral maxillofacial surgeons. The Pillar Procedure is a safe and clinically effective, long-lasting procedure which results in minimal pain and discomfort and offers significant benefits to both patients and physicians over other available treatment options for patients suffering from mild to moderate OSA and snoring. Our Pillar System was cleared by the United States Food and Drug Administration for snoring in December 2002 and for mild to moderate OSA in July 2004. Our Pillar System also received CE Mark certification for snoring and mild to moderate OSA from the European Commission in May 2003 and December 2004, respectively.
