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.
