RE: Alaxo Hybrid Stent with CPAP - Therapy Thread
Last night I slept with the Back2Sleep Large stent and bilevel 5.2/8.4, Dreamwear Gel Pillows. The stent is annoying but manageable. Without the nasal pillows it would be somewhat easier as the pillow press upon the stent holding clip.
I am trying to solve expiratory palatal prolapse and it seems the stent is helping, see the last images here where the palatal obstruction seems to be partially mitigated by the stent tube.
Depending where the collapse is, it is possible the stent could completely replace my CPAP.
That would be interesting although the CPAP is less invasive than the stent. Or maybe because I'm more used to the CPAP.
