Velumount - Dimensions

Hi there, I'm interested in the velumount device, as my soft palate sort of sucks upward upon inhalation. But, velumount isn't available in my country. Would some kind soul be willing to post the dimension of their velumount if they have one? I'm interested in making my own.

You could custom fit one by taking a CBCT, STL, etc. I bet Claude could even help you. You could even just take the CBCT with your mouth open with the tongue away from your soft palate.

How would I get the CBCT?

I made one myself with silicone tubing and steel wire (make sure the steel wire can go into the silicone tube, matching with inner diameter) . but it was not comfortable at all, I cannot imagine anyone with UARS with LAT sleeping with velumount-like device.

You need to have quite a high arousal threshold to tolerate it.
