<p>A prostatic tissue expander can include a urethral catheter, a positioning balloon disposed about the urethral catheter, an expander balloon disposed about the urethral catheter, and a containment assembly disposed about the expander balloon, wherein the containment assembly limits a degree of distension of the expander balloon, and the fiber patterns of the containment assembly are exposed. Such a prostatic tissue expander can further include additional reinforcements and cuffs. The method for positioning a prostatic tissue expander can be used in a method for treating benign prostatic hypertrophy.</p> |
