摘要：
A system, method and kit for treating obstructive sleep apnea. The system includes a first implant (22) adapted for implantation in an inframandibular region and having at least one aperture therethrough, and a ribbon-like element (24) having first and second ends and a substantially uniform, non-circular cross section along its length. The ribbon-like element is adapted for implantation in a tongue with the first and second ends extending through the at least one aperture in the first implant for coupling the ribbon-like element with the first implant.
