About The Meridian PM
The Meridian PM treats primary snoring, OSA and associated breathing symptoms. The Meridian PM stabilizes the lower jaw maintaining a patent upper airway during sleep decreasing the frequency and duration of apneic and hypopnic events including respiratory effort related arousals (RERAs) such as snoring. The Meridian PM helps in oxygen exchange during sleep as well as health and social consequences associated of OSA and snoring.
