The UroLume^® Urethral Stent is placed transurethrally in an outpatient setting. The stent is a biocompatible super alloy mesh tube that self-expands, holding the urethra open at the point of obstruction. Each stent is packaged preloaded in a specially designed delivery system that includes an optical telescope stabilizer.

For BPH, the stent is placed in the prostatic urethra.

• To prevent encrustation, be sure stent does not protrude into bladder.
• To prevent patient incontinence, avoid distal placement in the external sphincter.
• Select stent length 1/2 cm shorter than measurement taken from mid-verumontanum to bladder neck.
• Place stent from bladder neck to verumontanum.
