Butterfly has designed an anatomically shaped nitinol implant, which is positioned in the prostatic urethra in order to open the space and relieve BPH symptoms. The device comes in multiple sizes, and, unlike more invasive approaches, does not require any resection, cutting, or burning of prostatic tissue. The procedure can be completed in under six minutes in the urologist’s office.
