简要总结
The Tongue Right Positioner (TRP Snorless™) is a medical device designed to restore physiological tongue positions when functioning or at rest and increase tongue muscles tone. Patient wears TRP Snorless™ daily at least 5 hours during night. Published data suggested that TRP Snorless™ increases oropharynx diameter and nasal patency, favouring airflow in upper airways. Independently of patient's adherence to daily myofascial exercises, the TRP Snorless™ treatment should increase tongue muscles' tone and decrease the risk of snoring during sleep.
