Systems, devices, and methods for enabling proper deployment and imaging of implants in the prostatic urethra.
By incorporating flexible tubular components and imaging devices in the delivery system, combined with self-expanding implants and steerable mechanisms, the accuracy of implant delivery into the prostatic urethra has been addressed, enabling minimally invasive implant deployment that adapts to complex anatomical structures and improves delivery success rates.

AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies struggle to deliver implants precisely and consistently into the prostatic urethra, especially in minimally invasive procedures, due to the complex anatomical geometry and tissue variability.
The system employs a delivery system, including an elongated delivery device and a proximal control device, which, through a flexible tubular component and an imaging device, combined with a self-expanding implant and a steerable mechanism, enables precise deployment of the implant within the prostatic urethra.
It enables precise deployment of implants within the prostatic urethra under minimally invasive conditions, reducing trauma to patients, adapting to complex anatomical structures, and improving the success rate of implant delivery.
