Genio Implant in Dubai | Dr Muhammad Jabbr
Genio implant is one of the most advanced and innovative surgical treatments for obstructive sleep apnea available today. It is specifically designed for patients who cannot tolerate CPAP therapy or who require a permanent anatomical solution.
Genio implant works by stimulating the hypoglossal nerve to activate tongue muscles and prevent airway collapse during sleep.
Dr. Muhammad Jabbr, Consultant ENT & Head and Neck Surgeon and leading sleep apnea specialist in Dubai, provides advanced airway evaluation and Genio implant surgery using precise patient selection and DISE-guided surgical planning.
This modern implant provides long-term airway stability and restores normal breathing during sleep.
What is Genio Implant?
Genio implant is an implantable medical device designed to treat obstructive sleep apnea by stimulating the hypoglossal nerve.
This stimulation:
- Activates tongue muscles
- Prevents tongue collapse
- Maintains airway opening
- Restores normal breathing
This eliminates airway obstruction during sleep.
How Genio Implant Treats Sleep Apnea
During sleep apnea, tongue muscles relax and fall backward, blocking airflow.
Genio implant:
- Stimulates tongue muscles
- Moves tongue forward
- Prevents airway collapse
- Improves oxygen levels
Provides natural breathing without CPAP.

Genio implant is recommended for patients with:
- Moderate sleep apnea
- Severe sleep apnea
- CPAP intolerance
- CPAP failure or Refusal
- BMI within acceptable range (lower than 32 – 35 Kg/m²)
- With or without complete concentric collapse at soft palate level
Precise airway evaluation is essential.
