Muscle Tissue Training Electrical Stimulation System

Overview:
The Muscle Tissue Training Electrical Stimulation System is a non-invasive medical device designed to improve upper airway muscle tone and alleviate symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Through targeted low-frequency electrical stimulation, the system enhances the tension of nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal, and hypopharyngeal muscles to prevent soft tissue collapse during sleep. Designed for home use, the device offers a user-friendly interface via remote control or mobile app and allows 30-minute therapy sessions before bedtime without interfering with sleep comfort. It is ISO 13485 certified and complies with international biocompatibility and safety standards (ISO 10993, IEC 60601), and has completed IRB-approved clinical trials.

Target:
1 . Individuals diagnosed with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.
2 . Patients unable or unwilling to use CPAP therapy.
3 . Adults seeking a non-invasive, comfortable, and home-based therapy option.
4 . Healthcare providers aiming to offer personalized, effective sleep apnea management alternatives.

Concept:
This system is built on the principle of using non-invasive, low-frequency electrical stimulation to strengthen soft tissues in the upper airway. By improving muscle tone, the system reduces apneic events and increases airway patency during sleep. Its design prioritizes convenience and ease of use, enabling patients to self-administer treatment at home without surgical intervention or cumbersome equipment. With adjustable stimulation parameters, the system supports personalized therapy plans as guided by physicians. Its wireless and ergonomic design ensures high user compliance and nighttime comfort.

Product Benefits:
1. Enables at-home therapy with simple, fast application.
2 . Avoids surgical risks and CPAP-related discomfort.
3 . Adjustable frequency and intensity tailored to individual needs.
4 . Non-disruptive to sleep; no device required during sleep.
5 . Clinically validated with strong regulatory compliance.
6 . Supported by mobile app and remote control for intuitive use.

The Advantages Include:
1 . Non-invasive, surgery-free, and wireless design.
2 . Enhanced patient comfort and therapy compliance.
3 . 30-minute pre-sleep use without interfering with sleep cycles.
4 . Customizable stimulation parameters under physician supervision.
5 . Strong clinical network and physician endorsement.
6 . Certified for ISO 13485, ISO 10993, IEC 60601.
7 . Multiple international design awards and 11 global patents.

The Results:
This system provides a clinically effective, user-centered alternative to traditional OSA treatments. It reduces the need for invasive procedures such as uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) and eliminates dependency on CPAP machines. The product contributes to better sleep quality, higher oxygen saturation, and reduced apneic episodes, ultimately enhancing daytime alertness and long-term health. Its approval across multiple regulatory bodies and widespread clinical adoption demonstrate its reliability and readiness for global distribution. Environmentally sustainable and designed for independent use, the system empowers patients to manage their condition safely and comfortably from home.
