Abstract

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.
