The MPowRx Snoring Solution (www.isleepsound.com), distributed in Canada by a leading national Distributor Patterson Dental (www.pattersondental.com), is being embraced by dental professionals who recognize the large unmet clinical need in the treatment of snoring.
The issuance of this patent combined with FDA clearance, positions the Company for significant growth in a marketplace where few cost effective treatment options are supported by a proprietary technology and clinical efficacy, says Nancy Markley of MPowRx. We are excited to extend this clinically proven device to the 56 million Americans who suffer from snoring, adds Markley. The MPowRx Snoring Solution was developed by noted Dr. Leslie Dort, Calgary dentist and dental sleep medicine researcher, in response to growing incidence, and unmet need for a simple, cost effective and clinically proven treatment.
