Herbst^®* Sleep Appliance

The Herbst Appliance has been proven effective for chronic snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea sufferers. This appliance allows patients some lateral and vertical movement without disengaging the appliance.

This appliance
can be made of hard acrylic, thermoactive resin, or soft EVA material.

Indications for use - Herbst^®:

• Full complement of teeth
• Longer tooth dentitions
• Wide upper arch
• Gaggers
• Deviations
• Minimal inter-incisal opening
• Maxillary tori

NAPA Appliance

In clinical use since 1983, this proven treatment was developed by Dr. Peter T. George. The NAPA uses eight clasps and is constructed of hard acrylic to provide excellent retention.

This variation will be trimmed scalloped to the gingival margin and is ideal for patients with sensitive teeth, crowns, bridgework or missing dentitions. Both versions of the NAPA appliance are available with the standard breathing beak or
beakless option.

Indications for use:

• Full complement of teeth

Sleep Screening Devices

Confidently identify patients at-risk for sleep-disordered breathing.

MediByte^® Junior is the only home testing device that captures oral and nasal breathing. Provides simple, cost-effective, and reliable oral appliance monitoring for sleep apnea. Ideal for both adult and pediatric studies. Simple and comfortable to wear. Allows patients to sleep in the comfort of their own bed. Detects positional apnea.

ApneaLink* is a two-channel device that uses a nasal cannula to record patient breathing. Automatically analyzes and derives AHI, flow limitation, and snoring, which then generates a report with color-coded risk indicator for review. Simple to use and portable.

ApneaLink Plus* is a four-channel device that includes respiratory effort and oximetry. Conceptually similar to ApneaLink, this system provides differentiation between various apnea indices, and shows five measurements of oxygen saturation for more accurate readings.

Allows the clinician to capture the protrusive bite registration and vertical opening without relying on the patient to achieve proper positioning. Eliminates guesswork. Extremely accurate and easy to use. Ideal for mandibular repositioning! Recommended for Functionals and Sleep Apnea appliances.

Patient Education

OSA Demonstrator

An effective teaching tool to show patients the differences between normal breathing and obstructive sleep apnea/snoring. A Great Lakes exclusive, the OSA Demonstrator's easily moveable parts illustrate tissue obstruction, airflow limitation, and how the patient's sleep apnea/snoring condition will improve with a mandibular repositioning appliance.
