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.

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

Some patients report mild pressure, burning during urination, or pelvic discomfort while the device is in place.

You may experience temporary discomfort while the device is in place, but it’s generally mild to moderate and improves quickly after removal.

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.

No. Clinical studies have shown that the iTind procedure preserves both sexual and ejaculatory function.^1,2

Most men return to normal activities shortly after removal. You may be advised to avoid strenuous exercise while the device is in place. Many patients begin to notice symptom improvement within a few weeks.³

In most cases, no catheter is needed after the procedure. Fewer than 5% of patients required temporary catheter placement in clinical studies.^1,3

Clinical studies show that many men continue to experience relief for several years after treatment.³ If symptoms return in the future, additional treatment options remain available since there is no permanent implant.

Mild discomfort is common, but contact your doctor if you experience fever, persistent bleeding, or difficulty urinating.

Yes. You’ll return to your doctor to have the device removed after 5-7 days. Your doctor may also schedule a follow-up a few weeks after to evaluate how your symptoms are improving.

If you’re over 50 and experiencing symptoms of BPH — like frequent urination, urgency, or weak stream — and you’re looking to avoid daily medication or invasive surgery, the iTind procedure may be a good option. Your urologist can confirm whether your prostate anatomy is a good fit.

Yes. The iTind procedure may be an option even if you’ve tried medication or other therapies and are still looking for relief. Your doctor can help you decide if it’s the right next step based on your symptoms and anatomy.

Coverage may vary by insurance provider. Your urologist’s office can help you check your benefits and understand any out-of-pocket costs before scheduling the procedure.

It depends on your insurance plan. Some plans require a referral from your primary care physician to see a urologist. Others may allow you to make an appointment directly.

Yes, patients with a penile prosthesis may be candidates for the iTind procedure, so long as they meet all other eligibility criteria. Talk to your urologist to determine if the iTind procedure is an option for you.
