Abstract:
Urological (prostatic) implant, system, and method for retracting or/and supporting periurethral tissue enclosing a prostatic urethra along lengths of prostate lobes, for example, in BPH patients. Prostatic implant includes independently actuatable distal retractor incorporating craniolateral corners and proximal retractor incorporating caudolateral corners. Retractors may be connected via elongated spine member, and formed as paired curved wing-liked structures having interconnecting members. May further include tissue support members extending between elongated edge members connecting retractors to spine member, and tissue support members extending between elongated edge members and spine member. Tissue support members are sized and configured for supporting portions of prostatic lateral lobes when spine member engages anterior interlobar groove extending between prostatic lateral lobes, and when elongated edge members engage posterolateral interlobar grooves. System and method include implant manipulator detachably connected to implant elongated edge members, for manipulating and forcing implant caudolateral corners into close proximity, for delivery into subject.

Claim (Index 38):
The system of  claim 37 , wherein said first elongated edge member is sized for positioning in a left posterolateral interlobar groove that extends between a left prostatic lateral lobe and a prostatic medial lobe, and said second elongated edge member is sized for positioning in a right posterolateral interlobar groove that extends between a right prostatic lateral lobe and said prostatic medial lobe.
