The Nyxoah Genio procedure is a minimally invasive surgical implantation designed to treat moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea through bilateral neurostimulation of the hypoglossal nerve. During a brief outpatient procedure, a small, battery-free neurostimulator is implanted just beneath the chin through a single small incision and anchored directly to the hypoglossal nerve branches controlling tongue movement. The device is powered wirelessly and controlled externally via a wearable activation patch and smartphone app, eliminating the need for a secondary chest-wall pacemaker pocket or invasive lead wires running down the neck.
