Description
図1は、患者の上気道の概略図である。図1は、舌基部TBが咽頭壁PWに対向する状態である舌Tを示す。硬口蓋HP及び軟口蓋SPは、軟口蓋SPが舌基部TBと咽頭壁PWとの間で後方部を終端TEへ延在している状態で、舌Tの上部に亘って存在する。
図19〜23は、本発明の代替的な実施形態を図示する。図19〜23において、インプラント100は、遠位部分110及び近位部分120を含む。遠位部分110は、好ましくは、繊維増加又は組織の内植を促進するための介在空間を有する、編物(braid)又は編物(knit)などのメッシュ構造である。遠位部分110は、好ましくは、前述されたインプラント10と同一に構成される。図19は、遠位部分110が折り畳まれた状態であるインプラント110を示す一方、図21は、遠位部分110が完全に伸張された状態であるインプラント110を示す。遠位部分110は、前述された切開形成ツール40の剪刀動作ブレード44、46を受容するためのスライドスリット115を含む。近位部分120は、シリコン又は同様のものなどのエラストマー材料である。シリコンは、オーバーモールド部170(図19)を画定するために、遠位部分110の第1の端部111をオーバーモールドされる。
