Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is extremely common among men over 40 and can lead to urinary urgency, weak stream, frequent urination, nighttime urination, and loss of quality of life. While traditional surgeries like TURP are effective, many men prefer a minimally invasive, reversible, no-thermal-damage option.
The iTIND™ (Temporarily Implanted Nitinol Device) is a next-generation BPH treatment that reshapes the obstructed urethral channel without cutting, heating, or implanting permanent hardware. After 5–7 days, the implant is removed — leaving the man with improved urinary flow and preserved sexual function.
Bangkok is a rapidly growing center for iTIND treatment due to modern equipment and highly specialized urologists.
What Is the iTIND™ BPH Implant?
The iTIND is a small, temporary device made of three nitinol struts that mechanically remodel the prostatic urethra to relieve obstruction.
How it works:
Device inserted into the urethra via a cystoscope
Deployed inside the prostate
Over 5–7 days, the struts create channels that improve urine flow
Device removed completely during a simple procedure
No permanent implant left in the body
Unlike Rezum or laser therapy, iTIND uses mechanical reshaping, avoiding heat-induced damage.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
iTIND is best for men who:
Have mild to moderate BPH
Want to avoid surgery or permanent implants
Want to preserve ejaculation and sexual function
Cannot take daily BPH medications
Have not responded adequately to medication
Prefer a fast, minimally invasive, outpatient treatment
Not ideal for:
Very large prostates (>75–80g)
Men with median lobe obstruction
Severe urinary retention
A urologist will use ultrasound and flow studies to confirm suitability.
