A urethral-implant is configured to be implanted within a restricted location of a urethra. The urethral-implant forms at least one closed-shape by coiling ends of a single wire section on each other. The closed-shape includes a distal section, a proximal section and two lateral sections extending between the proximal section and the distal section. The closed-shape exhibits an expanded configuration and is foldable into a compressed configuration. The urethral-implant further is configured to extend from the compressed configuration to the expanded configuration so that the distance between wire sections increases, relative to the distance between wire sections in the compressed configuration. The urethral-implant applies continuous pressure on surrounding tissue thereby applying continuous radial pressure on at least one of a urethral wall and tissue surrounding the urethral wall. The radial pressure is sufficient to cause either a widening effect, extending a urinal passage or inducing infarction.

Urethral implant

A method for expanding a constricted location of a urethra of a subject, the method including inserting a urethral implant, and an implant sheath that covers the urethral implant, through the urethra for implanting the urethral implant in the constricted location, the urethral implant being in a compressed configuration within the implant sheath, releasing the urethral implant from the implant sheath until the urethral implant exits from the implant sheath, thereby expanding the urethral implant from the compressed configuration to an expanded configuration, applying, by the urethral implant, continuous pressure on tissues of the urethra at the constricted location, and retracting the implant sheath from the urethra.

Radial cutter implant

An implant for the prostatic urethra of a subject, the implant including

Incising implant for the prostatic urethra

An implant for creating incisions in the tissues surrounding the bladder neck and the urethra of a patient, for relaxing the opening of the bladder, the implant includes a central connector and at least one wire, the wires extend radially outwardly from the center of the central connector, the wires apply continuous pressure on the surrounding tissues, the wires are foldable within an implant sheath for enabling delivery and extraction thereof, the implant is implanted within a restricted location of the urethra for a period of time for creating incisions at the locations where the wires apply pressure on the surrounding tissues.

An incising implant for creating incisions in the prostatic urethra of a subject, the implant including at least two closed-shaped wires, each of the wires having a proximal section, a distal section and two longitudinal sections extending between the proximal section and the distal section, each of the closed-shaped wires being elastic thereby being compressible into a compressed configuration, each of the longitudinal sections of each of the wires being adjoined with another longitudinal section of another one of the wires.
