They should not be on certain medications for BPH or have a history of prostate cancer.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The Butterfly Pivotal Study is testing the effectiveness of the Butterfly Prostatic Retraction Device in improving urinary symptoms in men with BPH. Participants are randomly assigned to either receive this device treatment or undergo a sham procedure without actual treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, potential risks may include discomfort during the procedure, possible infection risk due to instrumentation, and individual reactions to the device material if there's an allergy to nickel.
