Olympus – iTind: Minimally Invasive Treatment for BPH Symptom Relief
What is iTind?
iTind is a temporary implanted nitinol device. The minimally invasive iTind procedure delivers rapid and effective relief from BPH symptoms.
iTind is inserted in an efficient and straightforward procedure with a short learning curve. Through gentle pressure on the tissue and localised ischemia, the iTind procedure aims to reshape the tissue of the prostatic urethra and the bladder neck.
After 5-7 days, the iTind device is removed leaving nothing behind. The entire iTind procedure can be performed in the office environment under local anesthesia.
How Does iTind Work?
The iTind is placed into the prostatic urethra in a narrow, folded configuration. During the implantation period of 5-7 days, the device expands and exerts gentle pressure at three precise points to remodel the prostatic urethra and the opening to the bladder. After 5-7 days the device is completely removed, leaving a wider opening through which urine can flow, and relieving the symptoms of BPH for years to come.
Why iTind?
Clinical data demonstrate that the first generation TIND boasts a durability of three years, and powerful efficacy at 6.6 years is also demonstrated by the second-generation and commercially available iTind.
