Abstract

A method and apparatus for treating snoring of a patient includes providing an implant (102) for altering a dynamic response of a soft palate (SP) of the patient to airflow past the soft palate. The implant is embedded in the soft palate to alter the dynamic response. The implant has multiple fibers (103) braided along a length of the implant. The braid includes unbonded ends and/or air-textured yarns.
