description An apparatus for use in treating snoring of a patient suffering from snoring includes an implant 10, of bio-compatible material sized to be embedded within the soft palate SP. When implanted, the implant is able to alter a dynamic response of the soft palate SP to airflow past the soft palate. The implant may take the form of a fluid-filled bladder, a fibrosis-inducing agent, a mixture of resorbable and non-resorbable fibres which may be braided together or an elongate body of non-resorbable material. Also disclosed is an implantation device comprising a needle and implant in which the needle may define a chamber in which the implant is located.
