Removal of Inspire Device

Post by ksmcoy » Fri May 24, 2024 3:59 pm

Wondering if anyone has found a doctor that can successfully remove the Inspire device . The leads placed inside my neck have triggered TN and nothing can be done to correct TN unless Inspire can be removed. TN is a debilitating condition that has ruined my wellbeing.

Very sorry to hear this. I found this paper where a successful 'explantation' was performed... this is probably the path you want to pursue. I hope you get this fixed.
