How are the inserts placed in the soft palate?
Each patient receives three Pillar inserts. The inserts are preloaded into a specially designed delivery tool. Each insert and its delivery tool are provided in a sterile package to the physician. To place each insert, Dr. Caplash inserts the delivery tool into the soft palate. The Pillar insert is left embedded in the soft palate tissue and the delivery tool is removed. The palate tissue is not cut or removed.
