    摘要: Benign prosthetic hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland. Treatment options for BPH include medication, surgery (e.g., removal of enlarged prostate tissue), and minimally invasive procedures (e.g., needle ablation, electrovaporization, thermotherapy, and stent insertion). Minimally invasive procedure is typically the preferred choice if medication is ineffective. Accordingly, disclosed herein are system and method for treating BPH using improved implant and delivery device. Certain embodiments of the delivery device can include: a camming barrel having a first groove at the distal end of the camming barrel; a sheath, located within a lumen of the camming barrel, for storing the implantable device; and a first cam follower coupled to the sheath.

    摘要: Methods are provided for the delivery of an implant into a body lumen of a patient. The method includes the steps of advancing a delivery device that includes a first tubular member housing an implant, a distal control member slidable within the first tubular member and releasably coupled with a distal portion of the implant, and an elongate grasper member slidable within the first tubular member and releasably coupled with a proximal portion of the implant. The method includes causing relative motion between the elongate grasper member and the first tubular member to expose at least a portion of the implant within the first tubular member, and then releasing the distal portion of the implant from the distal control member and the proximal portion of the implant from the elongate grasper member.
