Receives intervention with the Zenflow Spring System.

Interventions

Zenflow Spring System

The Zenflow Spring is a nitinol urethral implant for the treatment of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) that arise due to bladder outlet obstruction (BOO), secondary to the presence of Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH). The device is intended to be a permanent implant however it may be removed if necessary.

Primary outcome measure

  • Successful placement of the Zenflow Spring Implant [ Time Frame: Day of discharge up to 7 days following device placement ]
  • Effectiveness of the Spring Implant in reducing symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) using the International Prostate Symptom Score [ Time Frame: 3 month ]
  • Need for urinary catheterization [ Time Frame: 7 days after the procedure ]
  • Incidence of procedure or device related serious adverse events [ Time Frame: 30 days after the procedure ]
