What is iTind?
iTind is a temporarily implanted nitinol device that reshapes the prostatic urethra and bladder neck to deliver significant and long-lasting relief of BPH symptoms, all without heating prostatic tissue or a permanent implant. The iTind can be placed in an outpatient or office setting using either a slim rigid or flexible cystoscope.
Through continuous pressure and subsequent ischemia and necrosis, the iTind struts slowly expand to reshape the prostatic urethra and bladder neck to better allow urine flow, while preserving erectile and ejaculatory function.
Patients do not require a catheter and are able to return home during the 5-7 day treatment, at the end of which the device is completely removed.
