Pillar Procedure
The Pillar Procedure. The first step toward better sleep.
How the Pillar Procedure works
During the Pillar Procedure, three tiny woven polyester implants are placed into the muscle located at the junction of the hard and soft palate. These Pillar palatal implants, together with the body’s natural fibrotic response, add structural support and stiffen the soft palate, thereby minimizing or eliminating the palatal tissue vibration that can cause snoring and the collapse that can obstruct the airway and cause OSA.
30,000 People Worldwide
The Pillar Procedure can be performed as a stand-alone procedure or used in combination with other treatments and lifestyle changes to address multi-level upper airway obstruction. More than 30,000 people worldwide have been treated with the Pillar Procedure.
