Hypoglossal nerve stimulation implant

This image depicts the hypoglossal nerve stimulation device components. A neurostimulation cuff with electrodes is typically placed on the medial branches of cranial nerve 12 through an incision in the submandibular area. The neurostimulation lead is tunneled subcutaneously and connected to the implantable pulse generator. The implantable pulse generator and the respiratory sensor lead are placed through an incision in the anterior chest. The respiratory sensor is placed in the second or third intercostal space.
