Somnus Medical Technologies, Inc.
 PROFILE
Somnus Medical Technologies, a modern-day Morpheus for those afflicted with certain sleep disorders, makes medical devices to treat upper airway disorders such as habitual snoring, obstructive sleep apnea, and enlarged turbinates (the soft tissue in the nasal cavity). The company's Somnoplasty system tightens tissue in the upper airway using radiofrequency technology combined with needle electrodes that deliver thermal energy to obstructed areas. Somnus has a direct sales force marketing its products in the US, mainly to physicians and sleep clinics, and distributors worldwide including MC Medical, a unit of Mitsubishi. Somnus was bought by UK-based Gyrus Group and will eventually be merged into a Gyrus subsidiary.
