The objectives of the trial are to demonstrate the safety and performance of the Zenflow Spring System in relieving the symptoms of obstructive Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).
A multi-center, prospective, single arm safety and performance trial. Subjects will be treated either in the Investigator's out-patient treatment room or in the OR, with local anaesthesia only. All subjects will be followed for the entire duration of the study until exit after the 60 month follow-up visit.

| Zenflow Spring System | Device | The Zenflow Spring System consists of the Spring Delivery System with Implant, Spring Scope, Camera Control Unit (CCU), Measurement Tool, and Spring Retrieval Tool. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Need for urinary catheterization | Rate of extended post-operative urinary catheterization | 7 days after the procedure |
| Successful placement of the Zenflow Spring Implant | Successful deployment and procedural success for the Zenflow System to implant the Spring device in the operating room or an out-patient clinical setting. | Day of discharge up to 7 days following device placement |
| Effectiveness of the Spring Implant in reducing symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) using the International Prostate Symptom Score and Quality of Life Score (IPSS+QoL) | The patient is asked to respond to 7 questions related to his urinary health using a rating scale of 0 to 5 where zero is excellent and 5 is the worst possible. The responses to the 7 questions are tallied for a total score. In addition the patient is asked 1 question related to his Quality of Life. The possible responses range from 0 to 6 where 0 is the best and 6 is the worst. | Baseline and 3 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of procedure or device related serious adverse events | Assessment of any device or procedure related Serious Adverse Events (SAE) | Up to 30 days |
| Assessment of Sexual Health Assessment: Change in sexual health measured by change in the Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM) questionnaire score |
