The Zenflow Spring clinical treatment is a simple outpatient procedure performed by a urologist in a clinic setting.
The Zenflow Spring System keeps the narrowed urethra propped open, allowing the flow of urine to return to normal. It is elegantly designed using a super-elastic shape-memory material and is custom-fit to provide long-lasting relief.
The Spring is delivered through a low-profile flexible scope, providing a more comfortable patient experience.
Clinical trials conducted by top global urologists have shown a well-tolerated procedure with a low rate of side effects, fast recovery, and durable results out to at least 2 years.
The Zenflow Spring clinical trial evaluates a new investigational treatment, to relieve symptoms of an enlarged prostate.
The permanent Spring Implant is small nitinol implant that is delivered via the urethra using a flexible cystoscope. Once inserted, it keeps the urethra open and prohibits it from becoming too narrow again.
This allows the urinary flow rate to return to normal, and provides patients with relief from their symptoms that were caused by an enlarged prostate and narrow urethra.
If a patient ever changes their mind and decides to remove it, the implant is uniquely designed for complete transurethral removability using standard urological instruments.
The Zenflow Spring System was designed to be comfortable for its patients. It is extremely gentle, and patients do not experience any pain or discomfort throughout the procedure.
The Zenflow Spring System provides patients with a quick recovery period and durable results. No overnight stay or hospital visit is required. Patients may return home the same day, and may return to their daily activities with very minimal downtime.
Effective BPH symptom relief with minimally invasive and low risk treatments.
With other BPH treatments, medication alone might not be enough. Or, some treatments can still be uncomfortable, despite being minimally invasive. The recovery period lasts long, or if symptoms return, the procedures are only reversible through surgery. Zenflow Spring, however, is a very gentle treatment with no pain or discomfort. It is also easily-reversible, so if patients ever change their mind, they do not have to undergo intense surgery to have the implant removed.
Clinical trials have shown durable results to last at least 2 years.
No, the Zenflow Spring System was designed with patient comfort in mind. There is no cutting, piercing, burning, or removal of prostatic tissue, which makes the treatment very gentle with no discomfort.
