Boston Scientific AMS 800 Artificial Urinary Sphincter 72400025
The Boston Scientific AMS 800 Artificial Urinary Sphincter is a surgically implanted device for male stress urinary incontinence. It includes an inflatable cuff, scrotal pump, and a pressure-regulating balloon preset to 71–80 cm H₂O. Designed to restore continence through manual control of urethral compression.
This unit features a balloon that maintains higher hydraulic pressure (71–80 cm H₂O) for robust urethral occlusion, ideal for moderate-to-severe incontinence. The three-piece system—with cuff, pump, and balloon—is connected via kink-resistant tubing to ensure reliable fluid flow. When the pump is activated, the cuff deflates allowing urination, then re-inflates automatically to resume continence. With over four decades of use and proven clinical outcomes, the AMS 800 remains the gold standard for male urinary incontinence.
