Abstract

An adjustable soft palate support is a flat implant made of a material capable of being implanted into human bodies for a long time and consists of a hard palate connecting end and a support. The support is a flat implant capable of being inserted into the soft palate and connected to the hard palate connecting end, the hard palate connecting end is provided with a connection structure and a regulating mechanism which are connected with the hard palate, the connection structure arranged on the hard palate connecting end is used for fixing the support onto the hard palate, and the regulating mechanism arranged on the hard palate connecting end controls movement states or bending curvature of the support or lifting degree of the soft palate. Because the hard palate connecting end is fixed on the hard palate, the support is implanted into a muscular layer of the soft palate and utilizes the hard palate as a supporting point to support the relax and sunken soft palate and portions of a tongue rear root. As swallow action is frequent in a non-sleeping state, after the regulating mechanism is turned on, the support implanted into the soft palate can act along with natural swing of the soft palate so as to reduce interference to swallow actions. Before entering a sleep state, the regulating mechanism is in an off state after a control key of the regulating mechanism on the hard palate is adjusted by a finger or the tongue tip, the support implanted in the soft palate can support the soft palate, and then the central axis of the soft palate during natural swinging is charged by supporting the soft palate to the tongue root direction, thereby expanding pharyngeal airway during respiration and curing snoring and OSAHS.
