Abstract: Methods and devices are disclosed for manipulating the airway, such as to treat obstructive sleep apnea. An implant (60, 70, 90, 100, 120, 122, 145, 150, 170, 10, 195, 214, 215, 225) is positioned within the body with respect to the airway. The spatial orientation of the airway is manipulated, directly or indirectly, to affect the configuration of the airway. In general, the implant (60, 70, 90, 100, 120, 122, 145, 150, 170, 10, 195, 214, 215, 225) is manipulated to displace the trachea (50) in an inferior direction, resist superior displacement of the trachea (50) and/or to alter the tracheal wall tension. The implant (60, 70, 90, 100, 120, 122, 145, 150, 170, 10, 195, 214, 215, 225) restrains the trachea (50) in the manipulated configuration.

Abstract: Methods and devices are disclosed for manipulating the hyoid bone, such as to treat obstructive sleep apnea. An implant is positioned adjacent a hyoid bone. The spatial orientation of the hyoid bone is manipulated, to affect the configuration of the airway. The implant restrains the hyoid bone in the manipulated configuration. The implant is positioned adjacent to pharyngeal structures to dilate the pharyngeal airway and/or to support the pharyngeal wall against collapse.
