What is the UroLift® System?

Treatment with the UroLift® System uses a minimally invasive approach that provides rapid relief and recovery of BPH symptoms.1 It is an earlier treatment option that can get men off BPH medications and avoid major surgery.

The UroLift System is best for men (45+) with bothersome, moderate-to-severe BPH (enlarged prostate) who want to avoid sexual side effects (like erectile/ejaculation issues) from meds/surgery, prefer a quick recovery, offering relief without cutting, heating, or removing prostate tissue.

The UroLift® System treatment has demonstrated a significant improvement in quality of life for patients compared to medications.2,3 The UroLift® System is the only BPH procedure shown not to cause new and lasting erectile or ejaculatory dysfunction*, while being a safe and effective treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms due to BPH.1,3-6

Does the UroLift® System Work?

The UroLift® System uses a revolutionary approach to treating BPH that lifts and holds the enlarged prostate tissue so it no longer blocks the urethra. It is the only available BPH treatment performed by a urologist that does not require heating, cutting, or removal of the prostate tissue. The procedure is typically performed using local anesthesia in a physician’s office or ambulatory surgery center. Patients typically return home the same day without a catheter.1

Enlarged Prostate

An enlarged prostate can narrow or even block the urethra.

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.

BPH is the most common urological condition men face and the leading reason that men visit a urologist.

As the prostate enlarges, it presses on and blocks the urethra, causing bothersome urinary symptoms such as:

  • Frequent need to urinate both day and night
  • Weak or slow urinary stream
  • A sense that you cannot completely empty your bladder
  • Difficulty or delay in starting urination
  • Urgent feeling of needing to urinate
  • A urinary stream that stops and starts
