MINNEAPOLIS, July 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. (NYSE: INSP) (Inspire), a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative, minimally invasive solutions for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), announced today the publication of the reimbursement of Inspire therapy in France.
“We are thrilled to offer our clinically proven treatment option for moderate to severe OSA to patients and physicians in France,” said Tim Herbert, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Inspire. “Inspire therapy is backed by a strong body of evidence and years of clinical experience demonstrating the safety and efficacy of our therapy.”
Inspire therapy received European Conformity Marking for commercialization in Europe in 2010. Since that time, the company’s approach has been to secure reimbursement in targeted countries prior to commencing commercialization efforts. Inspire has already established reimbursement in many key European countries, and the addition of full reimbursement in France expands the market opportunity as France is the second largest OSA market in Europe. The approval in France provides reimbursement consistent with other European and global markets.
“Thanks to the reimbursement of Inspire therapy by the French Social Security, sleep physicians now have a new therapeutic option for patients with untreated OSA,” said Andreas Henke, Executive Vice President, Managing Director Europe.
