CAPSO or electrical cautery, burns the palate causing fibrosis and consequent stiffening of the soft palate. It is also used a means to remove a longitudinal strip of mucosa along the soft palate or uvula. This procedure is performed during a single out-patient visit under local anaesthetic.

Data now available shows that the short-term efficacy is also similar to that of UPPP and LAUP. As with LAUP, CAPSO can be repeated until the desired effect on the snoring is gained.

The noise of snoring is what upsets most partners, but it's the detrimental effect on health that should most concern people. This is such a good device we have already recommended it to a friend who has placed an order.
