Abstract
A method for removing a volume of tissue from a tongue in a patient to treat sleep apnea may involve cutting tissue from the tongue using a tissue cutting device having a shaft and at least one moveable cutting member attached to the shaft at a distal end of the tissue cutting device and moving the cut tissue through a channel of the shaft in a direction from the distal end of the tissue cutting device toward a proximal end of the device. A device for removing a volume of tissue from a tongue in a patient to treat sleep apnea may include a shaft, at least one moveable cutting member disposed at a distal end of a distal tip of the shaft, a handle coupled with a proximal portion of the shaft, and an actuator.
