Sleep apnoea and snoring centre to open in Edinburgh
The company said it will be up-skilling dentists in OSA treatment.
The London-based healthtech company 32Co is launching a nationwide network of sleep centres to treat patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and problematic snoring.
It will launch the first pilot centres in London, Manchester, Edinburgh and Bristol, with new centres to launch nationwide and a national waitlist now open for patients in other regions.
“This marks a major progression in the treatment of OSA and problematic snoring in the UK where millions are currently either undiagnosed, stuck in years-long NHS waiting lists, or without access to specialist treatment,” the company said in a statement.
The Aerox Sleep Centres, will “significantly improve access to Mandibular Advancement Devices (MADs) – a non-invasive, retainer device used to keep airways open during sleep. Though an effective treatment for OSA and snoring, the supply provision of these devices has previously been limited,” it added.
The company said it will be up-skilling dentists in OSA treatment, giving them access to medical specialists for virtual collaboration and creating a market for MADs, enabling affected patients to receive NICE-approved treatment at practices local to them.
