Implantation device for introduction of soft part element into uvula to reduce vibration tendency of uvula during e.g. snoring, has cannula pushed into lumen of vacuum pipe, where negative pressure is produced in lumen by vacuum pump
The device (1) has a cannula pushed over a guide passage (5) and through a silicone closure (7) into a lumen (9) of a vacuum pipe (8). The cannula is rotated in a direction of a uvula over an outer screw thread (3) and an inner screw thread (6) after introduction of the uvula into the lumen of a guide pipe (4). The screw threads are hermetically sealed together. Negative pressure is produced in the lumen by a vacuum pump (13) that is in a form of bellows and supports a funnel (10) of the vacuum pipe hermetically sealed on a soft palate.
