iTind (Temporary Implantable Nitinol Device)

iTind treats an enlarged prostate with a device that is placed for a few days and then taken out, leaving nothing behind. A small nitinol frame is folded into a delivery catheter, positioned in the prostatic part of the urethra and released, where it expands and presses gently at three specific points. Over five to seven days that steady pressure reshapes the tissue, creating channels through which urine can flow, and the device is then removed in the clinic. Because no tissue is cut, heated or removed and no implant remains, the approach appeals to men who want relief from urinary symptoms with a low risk to sexual function and without a permanent change to the prostate.
