The iTind Procedure
Experience Relief without Compromise
Living with an enlarged prostate doesn’t have to mean a lifetime of daily pills or undergoing invasive surgery. The iTind procedure is a minimally invasive option designed to provide relief while helping men keep what matters most: their urinary control, quality of life, and sexual function.1 2 3
How the iTind procedure works:
- A small device is placed inside the prostate during a straightforward procedure.
- Over 5–7 days, it gradually reshapes the prostate to improve urine flow.
- The device is then removed, leaving no permanent implant behind.

Find answers to commonly asked questions about the iTind procedure before seeing your doctor.
What is the iTind procedure?
The iTind procedure is a minimally invasive treatment for an enlarged prostate (BPH). A device is temporarily placed into the prostate for 5-7 days. During that time, it reshapes the prostate to help improve urine flow – and it’s completely removed afterward. No permanent implant is left behind.
How does it work?
Once inserted, the device expands and applies gentle pressure at key points in the prostatic urethra. Over the next few days, this creates channels in the prostate that reduce obstruction. After the device is removed, those channels remain for years – helping improve urinary symptoms like frequency, weak stream, and urgency.3
Will I feel the device while it’s in?
Some patients report mild pressure, burning during urination, or pelvic discomfort while the device is in place.
Is the procedure painful?
You may experience temporary discomfort while the device is in place, but it’s generally mild to moderate and improves quickly after removal.
Do I have to stay in the hospital?
No. The procedure is done in a doctor’s office or outpatient setting.1,2 Men go home the same day and return for a short follow-up visit 5–7 days later to have the device removed.
