DEVICE FOR TONGUE MANIPULATION, BONE RETAINER FOR APPLICATION IN SUCH DEVICES AND METHOD FOR ADJUSTMENT Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC A61B17/04 A61B17/24 A61F5/56 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: bone retainer for tongue manipulation device for respiratory disorder treatment comprises a tissue clamp for attachment to the tongue, a bone retainer and a restrictive thread that attaches the tissue clamp to the bone retainer. The bone retainer comprises a restrictive thread coil structure. The coil structure comprises a step displacement portion and a spool portion. For the first configuration, the spool portion can be used for restrictive thread winding without step displacement portion actuation. For the second configuration, the spool portion can be used for restrictive thread winding with step displacement portion actuation. The system for tongue manipulation contains the said bone retainer. The method to control to tongue manipulation device, which comprises a tissue clamp for attachment to the tongue, a bone retainer and a restrictive thread that attaches the tissue clamp to the bone retainer, includes the following steps: the restrictive thread is wound on the bone retainer without any step displacement until restrictive thread slack is eliminated; and the restrictive thread is wound on the bone retainer with a step displacement to provide audible feedback on the restrictive thread titration degree.

EFFECT: inventions prevent retention dysfunction.
