Abstract: The present invention provides devices and methods for creating and/or maintaining patency of the upper airway passage. The device is configured to fit under the chin of a subject at an external location corresponding approximately with the subject's internal soft tissue associated with the neck's anterior triangle. The device includes a flexible self-supporting chamber structure with multi-radius geometry including a particular chamber height range relative to the chamber base span to optimize the chamber's ability to maintain shape when a therapeutic level of negative pressure is applied within the therapy chamber.

Abstract: The present invention provides a device with a pressure control system and methods for controlling the application of negative pressure to an external surface of an individual for creating and/or maintaining patency of the upper airway passage. The device is configured to fit under the chin of a subject at an external location corresponding approximately with the subject's internal soft tissue associated with the neck's anterior triangle. The pressure control system contains control module elements that may include circuit board elements, digital output barometer elements, sensor elements, processing elements and memory elements to optimize device function and safety of the device through regulation of the flow rate of the air pump.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a sizing device and includes a sizing frame and frame handle for the evaluation of the fitting of a therapy device to a patient. The sizing frame corresponds to the contact region of a therapy device and the inner area of the sizing frame corresponds to the target therapy area. The sizing device is designed to provide a visual indication of correct or incorrect fit of the sizing device and the subsequent corresponding therapy device.

Abstract: A device and a method for creating and/or maintaining an obstruction free upper airway. The device fits under the chin of a subject adjacent to the subject's neck at an external location corresponding approximately with the subject's internal soft tissue associated with the neck's anterior triangle. The device is capable of exerting negative pressure on the surface of a subject's neck, displacing the soft tissue forward and enlarging the airway.
