Dr. Timothy Dettmer – Inspire Implant for Sleep Apnea at Floyd County Medical Center

COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS BROUGHT TO YOU BY FLOYD COUNTY MEDICAL CENTER:

If you or someone you love struggles with obstructive sleep apnea — especially if a CPAP machine just isn’t working — there’s a new option available right here at Floyd County Medical Center. Dr. Timothy Dettmer, ENT physician at FCMC, joined us to talk about the Inspire implant — an outpatient procedure that works like a “pacemaker for the tongue,” helping keep the airway open during sleep without the need for a mask. He explains how the technology works, who may qualify, what the procedure involves, and how patients are responding to this newer treatment now being offered locally. Hear how Inspire could help you get better sleep — and better quality of life — in the full interview below.
