Treatment with the UroLift® System is a minimally invasive solution that provides rapid relief and recovery for men living with symptoms of an enlarged prostate.1 It can break the cycle of medications and how they make a person feel, all without the risks of traditional surgery.2 The goal of the UroLift System treatment is to relieve symptoms so you can get back to your life and resume your daily activities.
Most men living with enlarged prostate (BPH) symptoms take prescription medications after they’re diagnosed but these prescriptions often don’t provide adequate relief and may cause dizziness, fatigue, and sexual dysfunction.2 Medications don't need to become a lifelong burden and men don’t need to wait until surgery is required to address the problem. With the UroLift System treatment, men suffering from BPH symptoms can avoid traditional surgery.
There’s a better option that can help men feel revitalised without having to compromise: The UroLift System treatment. This is a proven and durable solution to treat the blockage, which can free men from ongoing BPH medications with a rapid recovery.1
Treatment with the UroLift System is usually done on an day case basis or as an outpatient treatment; small implants are used to keep the blocked pathway that impedes the flow of urine open, so that the blockage is addressed and the symptoms of the enlarged prostate (BPH) do not have to be treated all the time. Most patients can return home immediately and experience a speedy recovery.1
An enlarged prostate can narrow or even block the urethra.
The UroLift Delivery Device is placed through the obstructed urethra to access the enlarged prostate.
Small UroLift Implants are permanently placed to lift and hold the enlarged prostate tissue out of the way and increase the opening of the urethra.
The UroLift System treatment provides fast and reliable symptom relief by opening the obstructed urethra.1
The UroLift System provides a proven treatment that can get men off BPH medications which can make a person feel foggy and cause sexual dysfunction.1,2 Treatment with the UroLift System has a risk profile better than surgical procedures that may have serious complications and a long, painful recovery.2-5 The treatment may be right for you if any of the following apply:
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, or BPH, is a condition in which the prostate enlarges as men get older. Over 70% of men in their 60s have BPH symptoms, so it is very common6. While BPH is a benign condition, unrelated to prostate cancer, it can greatly affect quality of life.
The UroLift System is an early treatment option for BPH. It is the only leading enlarged prostate procedure that does not require heating, cutting, removal or destruction of prostate tissue - delivering rapid symptom relief and recovery 2,7-11.
