In this video I compare and contrast the Genio and Inspire Hypoglossal Nerve Implants for Obstructive Sleep Apnoea. I explain what you need to know before you choose which one to go for.
I wish to disclose that I do not receive any financial support, benefits, or incentives from the Nyxoah Genio or Inspire companies. The opinions and thoughts expressed herein are solely my own and do not reflect the views or positions of the NHS or any other organisation.
