Abstract: The present invention provides devices and methods for creating and/or maintaining patency of the upper airway passage. The device is configured to fit under the chin of a subject at an external location corresponding approximately with the subject's internal soft tissue associated with the neck's anterior triangle. The device includes a flexible self-supporting chamber structure with multi-radius geometry including a particular chamber height range relative to the chamber base span to optimize the chamber's ability to maintain shape when a therapeutic level of negative pressure is applied within the therapy chamber.

Abstract: A device and a method for creating and/or maintaining an obstruction free upper respiratory passages. The device is configured to fit under the chin of a subject adjacent to the subject's neck at an external location corresponding approximately with the subject's internal soft tissue associated with the neck's anterior triangle. The device is capable of exerting negative pressure on the surface of a subject's neck, displacing the soft tissue forward and enlarging the airway.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a sizing device and includes a sizing frame and frame handle for the evaluation of the fitting of a therapy device to a patient. The sizing frame corresponds to the contact region of a therapy device and the inner area of the sizing frame corresponds to the target therapy area. The sizing device is designed to provide a visual indication of correct or incorrect fit of the sizing device and the subsequent corresponding therapy device.

Abstract: A device and method for creating and/or maintain an obstruction free upper airway passage. The device configured to fit under the chin of a subject adjacent to the subject's at an external location corresponding approximately with the subject's internal soft tissue associated with the neck's anterior triangle. The device including structural elements designed to optimize comfort, compliance and seal achieved through minimizing the pressure variation along the contact surface of the cushion element. The structural elements of the cushion may include a fluidly sealed chamber that may vary in thickness and width, a compressible elastic foam contained within the fluidly sealed chamber a ribbon layer backing the elastic foam contained within the fluidly sealed chamber and an adhesive layer disposed on the outer surface of the fluidly sealed chamber of the therapy device designed to contact the skin of the subject.
