ABSTRACT:
A novel medical device, SNOPPER--The Snoring Stopper.TM. anti-snoring mouth device, is inserted into the mouth. The device comprises a denture-like(10) apparatus for supporting electrodes(12) in such a manner that the electrodes make contact with the roof of the mouth. Electrical stimulation induces contraction of relaxed muscles, thereby preventing or stopping snoring. Electrical energy is provided to the device via wires for connection to an external stimulator(16) or via a self-contained, battery-powered, microminiturized electronic stimulator(20). Stimulation can be constant or intermittent. Wave shape, amplitutde, length, and frequency is controlled by the individual for comfort and is automatically induced via a feedback mechanism.
