FDA Approves Nyxoah’s Genio® System for Treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea 

On August 08, 2025, Nyxoah SA, a medical technology company that developed breakthrough treatment alternatives for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) through neuromodulation, announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had approved the Genio system for a subset of patients with moderate to severe OSA with an Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) between 15 and 65.

Genio represented a different approach to hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) for the treatment of OSA. Its unique design utilized bilateral stimulation and offered patients a leadless, full-body 1.5T and 3T MRI compatible, non-implanted battery solution, powered and controlled by a wearable component. The wearable component was fully upgradable, providing Genio patients with access to the technology without requiring additional surgeries for updates or battery replacements.

“Today marks a defining moment for Nyxoah and for U.S. patients suffering from OSA. With the FDA’s marketing approval of the Genio system, we are proud to bring this innovative therapy to the U.S. market,” commented Olivier Taelman, Nyxoah’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our mission has always been to make sleep simple for OSA patients by offering them a solution that empowers better sleep. We look forward to the successful execution of our U.S. commercialization strategy.”

“The Genio system’s approval represents a major addition to the treatment options available to physicians treating patients with OSA,” said Colin Huntley MD, Associate Professor, Department of Otolaryngology Head & Neck Surgery, Thomas Jefferson University. “This unique bilateral stimulation technology has demonstrated consistent efficacy across all sleeping positions, including the challenging supine position, while maintaining an excellent safety profile.”

The Genio system’s FDA approval was supported by high-quality, differentiated safety and efficacy data from the Company’s DREAM pivotal trial. The DREAM study met both its primary and secondary endpoints, demonstrating an AHI responder rate of 63.5% and an Oxygen Desaturation Index responder rate of 71.3%, with an overall median AHI reduction of 70.8%. Additionally, 82.0% of all DREAM subjects experienced AHI scores dropping to 15 or lower.

Importantly, the DREAM study showed that Genio was efficacious regardless of a patient’s sleeping position and, to the Company’s knowledge, was the only therapy with such clinical evidence in a large, multicenter, prospective clinical study using data from a full-night polysomnography. This served as a critical differentiator, as on average, people slept in a supine position between 35% and 40% of the night. The DREAM study measured position-specific outcomes and demonstrated a 66.6% median AHI reduction while patients slept in a supine position, even though the number of airway obstructions could double in this position. This reduction compared favorably to the 71.0% reduction in AHI observed while patients slept in a non-supine position.

U.S. Military Study Identified TITAN CSR® Retractor as Top Surgical Retractor for Deployed Trauma Care 

On August 12, 2025, Advanced Surgical Retractor Systems, Inc. (ASR Systems) announced that its flagship product, the TITAN CSR® retractor, had been identified as the top-performing retractor system in a Department of Defense–funded study evaluating surgical retraction platforms for forward-deployed surgical teams. 

The findings were presented at the Military Health System Research Symposium (MHSRS) 2025, the DoD’s premier scientific meeting on military medicine. The study, “Comparison of Self-Retaining Retractor Systems for Use in Forward-Deployed Surgical Teams,” evaluated multiple commercially available systems, including the TITAN CSR® retractor, Bookwalter®, Alexis™, and Balfour based on exposure quality, ease of use, portability, and suitability for damage control surgery in austere environments. 

Statistically significant results from the study demonstrated that the TITAN CSR® retractor

provided the greatest surgical exposure of any retractor tested, measured by the visualized surface area of the abdominal cavity. Surgeons rated the TITAN CSR® retractor’s exposure performance 4.9 out of 5.0 nearly a perfect score and a critical advantage for life-saving operations where every centimeter of visibility mattered.

Additionally, assembled and deployed faster than the Bookwalter®, a complex system requiring a table attachment and multiple components. Combat hospitals often lacked the standard operating room beds with side rails needed to mount the Bookwalter®, meaning it was frequently not even an option for military surgeons. The TITAN CSR® retractor eliminated this limitation, and in high-acuity trauma cases, reducing setup time helped achieve control of hemorrhage faster and saved valuable minutes in the operating room.

Furthermore, received the highest overall perception of use among all systems tested, based on surgeon and surgical team ratings of setup simplicity, adaptability to different procedures, stability during use, and overall effectiveness in achieving optimal exposure.

“The TITAN CSR® retractor has been rigorously evaluated by the Department of Defense, with the study’s significant findings showing it delivers the greatest surgical exposure, fastest setup, and highest overall surgeon satisfaction among systems tested,” said Dr. Ramon Cestero, trauma surgeon, military veteran, and inventor of the TITAN CSR® retractor. “It is in active use at military facilities as well as Level 1 trauma centers across the U.S. and Canada, where civilian surgeons have reported the same benefits in their own high-acuity cases  speed, exposure, and simplicity that directly impact patient outcomes.”

As per DelveInsight’s “Surgical Retractors Market Report”, the global surgical retractors market was valued at USD 2.33 billion in 2023, growing at a CAGR of 5.80% during the forecast period from 2024 to 2030, to reach USD 3.26 billion by 2030. The increase in demand for surgical retractors is primarily attributed to the rising number of surgeries in the world.
