A prostatic retraction implant is a permanent device designed to relieve urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate. It works by physically compressing the prostate tissue, widening the urethra to improve urine flow without removing or destroying prostate cells.
These implants are typically implanted via a minimally invasive procedure using a dedicated delivery system. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified as surgical implants and must meet strict safety and performance standards before market authorization.
