摘要:
A system for preventing obstruction of an airway includes an internal component and an external component in embodiments described herein. The internal component can include an electrical coupling configured to extend to a muscle or nerve, and an access port electrically connected to the electrical coupling. The external component can include an access port counterpart configured to engage with the access port to provide an electrical connection, and a power supply. The power supply can provide power to the access port counterpart and the electrical connection, thereby powering the electrical coupling at the muscle or nerve to prevent obstruction of an airway due to obstructive sleep apnea.
