The latest in BPH treatments
The iTind implant is a groundbreaking, minimally invasive treatment option designed to provide significant relief from BPH symptoms.
The iTind implant is a temporary device made from nitinol, designed to reshape the prostate urethra and relieve urinary symptoms caused by BPH. Unlike traditional surgery, the iTind implant procedure does not involve removal of tissue, making it a less invasive option that preserves sexual and urinary functions.
About the procedure
The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia. You will receive specific instructions to prepare, including fasting and pre-operative assessments.
During the procedure, a Urologist inserts the iTind device through the urethra into the prostatic urethra. The device expands and exerts gentle pressure at three specific points, reshaping the urethra. The iTind device remains in place for five to seven days.
After five to seven days, you will return to the clinic to have the iTind device removed. This process is quick and usually done without the need for additional anesthesia.
Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days. Drinking plenty of fluids and following your doctor’s instructions will aid in recovery.
Benefits of the iTind Implant
The iTind implant offers several significant benefits, including:
- Minimally invasive: No tissue removed, preserving the integrity of the prostate.
- Short recovery time: Most patients can resume normal activities within 24 to 48 hours after device removal.
- Effective symptom relief: Provides significant and long-lasting relief from urinary symptoms.
- Preservation of sexual function: Unlike some traditional operations, the iTind implant does not affect sexual function or ejaculation.
- Day stay procedure: The procedure can be performed in a day stay setting, reducing hospital stay and associated costs.
The iTind implant represents a significant advancement in the treatment of BPH, offering a minimally invasive solution with effective symptom relief and minimal recovery time.
