About the Procedure
The UroLift™ System is indicated for the treatment of symptoms due to urinary outflow obstruction secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), including lateral and median lobe hyperplasia, in men 45 years of age or older.
Enlarged Prostate
An enlarged prostate presses on and blocks the urethra, causing bothersome urinary symptoms.
Step 1
The UroLift™ Delivery Device is inserted transurethrally through a rigid sheath under cystoscopic visualization in order to reach the targeted area of obstruction.
Step 2
The obstructing prostatic lobes are retracted by small, permanent UroLift™ Implants which are deployed via a needle that comes out of the delivery device.
Step 3
The UroLift™ System treatment provides fast and reliable symptom relief by opening the obstructed urethra.
