Abstract
Devices and systems are disclosed for managing and/or treating body tissues obstructing a hollow body lumen, including the prostatic lobe tissues obstructing the urethra, for example conditions including benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), bladder outlet obstruction (BOO), benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) and associated lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). An implant is maintained in a constrained configuration within a distal portion of an elongated sheath so that is may be deployed by driving the implant with a pusher coaxially disposed within the sheath. An implant engaging element helps maintain control of the implant during deployment.
