SomnoMed MATRx™ - COMING SOON IN 2012

SomnoMed® MATRx™ is a revolutionary diagnostic system that combines the expertise of a sleep dentist and a sleep physician to identify patients that will benefit from SomnoDent® therapy and objectively identifies their optimal protrusive 
position in a PSG environment.

To use this medical diagnostic device a dentist assesses the patient and fits them with a temporary device which is then titrated in an attended sleep study without disturbing the patients sleep.

Clinically valided in two previous studies, the SomnoMed MATRx patented technology was developed by Zephyr Sleep Technologies Inc. Chief Medical Officer, Dr. John Remmers. Dr. Remmers was one of the first investigators to demonstrate that sleep apnea is due to an anatomical narrowing of the pharynx. He has developed a number of medical devices to treat and  diagnose this condition and remains clinically active at the Foothills Sleep Laboratory at the University of Calgary.
