UroLift® System
What is the UroLift System?
The UroLift System is a proven minimally invasive procedure to treat an
enlarged prostate. It is the only leading enlarged prostate procedure
that does not require heating, cutting, or destruction of prostate tissue.
The procedure is typically performed as a same-day outpatient procedure,
including the office setting, under local anesthesia.1

- Typically no catheter required after treatment4,6
How Does the UroLift System Work?
Step 1: The UroLift Delivery Device is placed through the obstructed urethra to access the enlarged prostate.
Step 2: 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.
Step 3: The UroLift Delivery Device is removed, leaving an open urethra designed to provide symptom relief

Indicated for the treatment of symptoms of an enlarged prostate up to 100 cc in men 45 years or older. As with any medical procedure, individual results may vary. Most common side effects are temporary and include pain or burning with urination, blood in the urine, pelvic pain, urgent need to urinate, and/or the inability to control the urge.11 Rare side effects, including bleeding and infection, may lead to a serious outcome and may require intervention. Speak with your doctor to determine if you may be a candidate.
