Treatment and study plan

Insertion of Temporary Implantable Nitinol Device (TIND)

Device

Subjects will be inserted with the Temporary Implantable Nitinol Device (TIND) to the bladder neck and urethral prostate for 5 days and thereafter the TIND will be withdrawn in the doctor office.

Primary outcomes

  1. Device related and unanticipated SAE

    Time frame: At 3 months

    Device related and unanticipated SAEs will be followed. No such SAEs are expected.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Reduce at least 3 point in the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) in at least 75% of subjects

    Time frame: At 3 months

    Questionnaire of IPSS will be done in each visit.

  2. Increase of maximal urinary peak flow by at least 3 ml/s in at least 75% of subjects

    Time frame: At 3 months

    Maximal uroflow will be measured in each visit
