Help Your Patients Preserve Bladder Health
Impact on wellbeing
Quality of life and overall health are important considerations in treating men with BPH. Watchful waiting can risk long-term bladder health.6 The use of BPH medications may be associated with potential side effects,7 and many men are dissatisfied with the effectiveness of their BPH medication in relieving symptoms.3,5
Help your patients take a proactive role in their BPH care by introducing them to BPH Advisor™, a free personalized education program.
“Since many men discontinue medical therapy, yet proportionately few seek surgery, there is a large clinical need for an effective treatment that is less invasive than surgery.”

How the UroLift™ System Is Unique
A mechanical solution to a mechanical problem
The UroLift™ System uses a proven approach to treating BPH that lifts and holds the enlarged prostate tissue out of the way, so it no longer blocks the urethra.15 It is the only leading transurethral BPH treatment that does not require heating, cutting or removal of the prostate tissue.13,14 Post-procedure, most patients do not require ongoing BPH medications.15
Refer your appropriate patients to a urologist who can determine if they are a candidate for the UroLift™ System.
The UroLift™ System reopens the channel—with no cutting or burning of the prostate.
