The AIRLIFT® procedure for sleep apnea has been created by SiestaTM Medical, a company focused on simple, effective, and lasting treatments for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OSA afflicts over 17 million people in the United States alone, with over 1 million new diagnoses made each year. OSA is associated with excessive daytime sleepiness and an increase in the incidence and risk of stroke, hypertension, heart disease, type II diabetes, and heart failure.
