Elevating the Vision for BPH Symptom Treatment

Durability + Patient Experience​

The UroLift™ System is a market leader and proven minimally invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) symptoms that provides an alternative to BPH medications and major surgery.1,2  It is supported by over a decade of clinical evidence.

A proven early treatment alternative to BPH medications2

The only leading BPH minimally invasive surgical therapy (MIST) with consistent durability in the real-world and clinical trials2,3

A safe, effective treatment,2 providing a superior patient experience* among leading BPH procedures3-5​

One of the most studied BPH MIST procedures with 145+ peer reviewed and clinical publications​

A Proven Early Treatment Alternative to Medications2

98%

of men seeing a doctor for BPH are treated with medications or watchful waiting1

Medications like alpha blockers, 5-ARIs or combination therapy are first-line treatment for patients with BPH symptoms, but they can come with some significant tradeoffs.​

  • Maximum median IPSS score reduction for common BPH medications is only 7 points while placebo provided 4-point improvement at 4 years6

  • Long-known potential side effects7-16
  • Low compliance17
  • Long-term use of BPH medication may lead to bladder dysfunction18
New Data:
The IMPACT Study

This study represents the largest head-to-head RCT comparing efficacy, safety and patient experience* after UroLift™ PUL and medical therapy (alpha blocker Tamsulosin).29 Preliminary data suggest that UroLift™ PUL yields advantages in the first three months:

  • Better symptom relief and quality of life improvements29
  • Higher patient satisfaction and goal attainment29
  • More improvements in daily activities29
UroLift™ System PUL patients experienced improvements of 8.6 and 10 in IPSS total score at 1 and 3 months, respectively, compared to 3.4 and 3.1 for medication.29
UroLift™ System PUL QoL scores improved 2.0 (39.3%) and 2.2 (47.9%) vs. 0.6 (10.2%) and 0.5 (7.8%) for medication at 1 and 3 months.29

Despite technological innovation, only 2% of men seeing a doctor for BPH are treated with a surgical intervention1

Traditional invasive surgery like TURP has been the gold standard BPH treatment since the 1920's. Newer technology has been introduced over the years to help improve patient experience factors such as long-term recovery, post-op complications and ejaculatory dysfunction.

The Only Leading BPH MIST With Consistent Durability in Real World and Clinical Trials2,3

In a recent real-world analysis, the ​UroLift™ System demonstrated a comparable 5-year retreatment rate to the rate shown in the L.I.F.T. RCT (11.6% and 13.6%).2,3
Across clinical trials and real-world studies, the UroLift™ System has demonstrated largely consistent IPSS outcomes.2,21

Patient Safety

Once procedure volume is factored in, the UroLift™ System has the lowest rates of mild, moderate, and severe complications on a per case basis from 2019-202228+

The UroLift™ System had the lowest post-procedural complication rate at one year compared to other procedures.3
