Embodiment Construction

[0080] Disclosed herein is a device configured to dilate the prostatic urethra by engaging three grooves of the prostatic urethra and applying a radially outward force after deployment within the urethra. The device is normally openable and is made of a resilient material allowing it to be compressed laterally to fit within the deployment lumen and expand laterally to the normal open configuration after withdrawal from the deployment lumen and to apply an outward radial force, This dilates the prostatic urethra after deployment.

[0081] Figure 1 to Figure 5 A dilation device for the prostatic urethra and method of use according to the present invention are shown, wherein like parts are designated by like reference numerals throughout. Although the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that many alternative forms may embody the invention. Furthermore, those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate different ways...
