Patented triangular-shaped stent to perfectly fit the anatomy of an enlarged prostate.
Allium’s unique large caliber, site-specific, triangular shaped, dynamic and easily removable prostatic stent implant, is uniquely designed to provide a long term and fully retrievable solution for a period of up to 3 years.
Allium TPS has a large caliber (45 FR) triangular cross-section to match the contours of an enlarged male prostatic urethral lumen and has the ability to exert varying degrees of radial force based on the specific anatomy.
TPS has higher radial force in its main body to maintain urine passage, and lower radial force in the area near the external sphincter to maintain sphincteric functionality avoiding urinary retention or incontinence.
These characteristics enable the Allium Prostatic Stent Implant to conform to the prostatic urethra, allowing an excellent urine flow and offering superior patient comfort without jeopardizing the voluntary continence mechanism.
The TPS implantation procedure takes approx. 15 minutes, and can be performed using either local, regional or sedation types of anesthesia.
The procedure can be performed either in the physician’s office, outpatient, or an operating room set up, in order to allow a wider option of choices for the patient and the physician. During the entire indwelling period of up to 3 years the stent maintains an open lumen & prevents tissue ingrowth.
at the same day after procedure, once voiding has been confirmed, patient can return home and resume normal activities.
