Zusammenfassung:A system for retracting or/and supporting periurethral tissue enclosing a prostatic urethra along a length of prostate lobes is described. The system comprising an implant (200) comprising a plurality of elongated edge members (214, 216) interconnected in a form of a collapsible-expandable frame expandable to retract or/and support periurethral tissue by exerting pushing forces upon interlobar grooves located along the prostatic urethra, wherein a first one of said elongated edge members includes a first craniolateral corner and a first caudolateral corner, and a second one of said elongated edge members includes a second craniolateral comer opposing said first craniolateral comer and a second caudolateral comer opposing said first caudolateral corner; and an implant manipulator (410) detachably connected to said implant first and second elongated edge members, and configured to manipulate and force said first and second caudolateral corners into close proximity with each other.
