    Abstract: A stent is disclosed that is configured to maintain patency of the prostatic urethra despite an enlarged prostate. The stent can include a handle that, in an undeflected position, is disposed outside of the flow path of the stent. When the handle is pulled, the handle can deflect to generally aligned with a central axis of the stent. A capture device is disclosed that includes a tapered tip to navigate a working channel of a delivery device and a hook that can capture the stent handle and be moved into a tube to retain the stent handle to facilitate maneuvering of the stent in and out of the working channel of the delivery device. A loading adapter with a tapered port is disclosed that can be disposed on the delivery device to distribute compressive forces applied by the port on the stent during loading into the working channel.
