June 12, 2025- Teleflex Incorporated announced two awareness initiatives in conjunction with Men’s Health Month to raise awareness for quality-of-life issues associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (“BPH”) and the potential rectal toxicity side effects for men who undergo a prostate cancer radiation treatment plan.
The initiative includes a new ad campaign featuring the Prostate Monster, and a mobile training and education center—The Prostate Education Express—which is visiting urology practices, hospitals and academic medical centers across major U.S. cities for the remainder of 2025. These activities are focused on educating physicians and the community on the benefits of treatment with the UroLift™ System and the benefits of organ spacing using the Barrigel™ rectal spacer in advance of prostate cancer radiation therapy.
The ad campaign airing on cable networks, streaming platforms, and related digital ads, features the unforgettable “Prostate Monster,” a larger-than-life symbol of the everyday disruption BPH can cause in men’s lives—from interfering with sleep to making simple tasks like mowing the lawn or sitting in traffic uncomfortable. The ads direct viewers to UroLift.com, where men can learn more and take the first step toward relief.
When the prostate grows, it can press against the urethra and block the flow of urine, leading to symptoms like frequent urination, weak stream, and interrupted sleep. More than 500,000 men have been treated with the UroLift™ System in select markets worldwide.
