Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of TranQuillTM Sling (a suture or thread used in surgery that is knotless) in snoreplasty (surgery procedure) for the treatment of snoring and mild OSA in adult subjects. The TranQuill Sling Snoreplasty (QSS) is a procedure where the suture will be inserted into the soft palate tissues for the treatment of snoring and/or mild obstructive sleep apnea. Soft palate tissues are tissues in the back of the roof of the mouth.

The research results will be used to provide data on feasibility (strengths and weaknesses), safety, performance, and effectiveness data for the Surgical Specialties, Inc as a therapy for snoring and/or mild obstructive sleep apnea. The TranQuillTM Sling is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The TranQuillTM Sling is used in all types of surgery that involved deep tissues in the body.

The investigator in charge of the study is Dr. Boyd Gillespie. MUSC and Dr. Gillespie receive financial support from Surgical Specialties, Inc. to conduct the study. MUSC is the only place that this study will be conducted. For this research study the investigators plan to enroll a total of up to 20 subjects at the Medical University of South Carolina.
