SomnoMed Featured in this Month’s Edition of Sleep Diagnosis and Therapy
Frisco, Texas (PRWEB) September 15, 2011
SomnoMed, Inc., manufacturer of the world’s leading oral appliance, SomnoDent for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) was featured in this month’s edition of Sleep Diagnosis and Therapy.
The article Options and Evidence discusses SomnoMed’s continued effort to innovate and develop the next generation of evidence-based medical devices for the diagnosis and treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Two new dental sleep medicine products were featured: SomnoDent G2® and SomnoMed MATRx™.
SomnoMed MATRx (pending FDA approval) “is analogous to a CPAP titration. For the first time, we are providing a means of predicting whether patients are suitable for oral appliance therapy. If they are, we can help determine optimal protrusive distance for their SomnoDent once they return to their SomnoMed dentist for further titrations” says Ralf Barschow, CEO of SomnoMed.
Whilst there are an increasing number of generic oral appliances available, only SomnoDent is independently clinically validated, incorporates proprietary materials and design features to maximize patient comfort. SomnoMed firmly believes that dental sleep medicine clinicians will continue to embrace patient-focused and evidence-based medical devices. Indeed this notion was recently supported when the Agency of Healthcare Research and Quality pointed to 22 trials supporting oral appliance therapy for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
New products within dental sleep medicine must focus on gaining the support and confidence of the patients, dentists, and physicians that will in turn improve crucial compliance rates. “The MATRx and G2 boost confidence among patients and clinicians,” says Ralf Barschow. “Patients are confident they are receiving the highest quality oral appliance therapy out there. That confidence brings them back into treatment, which improves compliance—and improves their lives.”
