iTind™

Silver

Master Category:

Award Category: Science and Medical

Award Sub-Category: Medical Treatment

The iTind™, a temporarily implanted nitinol device, is placed in the prostatic urethra in a folded configuration. The super-elastic nitinol struts exert ischemic pressure at the 12, 5, and 7 o’clock positions, reshaping the tissue to allow urine to flow. After 5 to 7 days, the device is completely removed, and patients experience immediate relief.
