Zusammenfassung:A dilating device for a prostatic urethra including two dilating means symmetrically interconnected on opposite lateral sides of the device; two longitudinally oriented peripheral ridges configured to fix the dilating means in place within the prostate urethra and prevent their movements or dislodgement. The dilating means are configured to laterally expand the two longitudinally oriented peripheral ridges to a normally-open configuration upon deployment within the prostatic urethra, to exert a lateral outwards force that dilates the prostatic urethra. Two protrusions, each of the two protrusions protruding distally from a respective peripheral ridge of the two longitudinally oriented peripheral ridges, the two protrusions configured to impinge against opposite postero-lateral sides of a bladder neck of the prostatic urethra, thereby preventing a migration of the device into a urinary bladder.
