    What is the PUL System?

    Treatment with PUL is typically a one-time solution that provides rapid relief and recovery of BPH symptoms.1 It may break the cycle of medications and how they make a person feel, all without the risks of more invasive surgery. The goal of the PUL treatment is to relieve symptoms so you can get back to your life and resume your daily activities.

    PUL has demonstrated a significant improvement in quality of life for patients compared to medications.2,3 PUL is the only BPH procedure shown not to cause new and lasting erectile or ejaculatory dysfunction.1

    How Does The PUL System Work?

    PUL uses a revolutionary approach to treating BPH that lifts and holds the enlarged prostate tissue so it no longer blocks the urethra. It is the only BPH treatment performed by a urologist that does not require heating, cutting, or removal of the prostate tissue. The procedure is typically performed using local anaesthesia in the outpatient clinic or day surgery unit. Patients typically return home the same day without a catheter.1

    step3

    Step 3

    The PUL Delivery Device is removed, leaving an open urethra designed to provide symptom relief.

    • Does not cause new onset, sustained erectile or ejaculatory dysfunction
    • Minimally invasive

    As with any medical procedure, individual results may vary. Speak with your urologist to see if the PUL treatment is right for you.

Most of these side effects resolve within two to four weeks after the procedure.
