Boston Scientific AMS 800 Artificial Urinary Sphincter 72400165
The Boston Scientific AMS 800 Artificial Urinary Sphincter is a surgically implanted, fluid-driven device for male stress urinary incontinence. It features a 6.5 cm silicone occlusive cuff, scrotal control pump, and pressure-regulating balloon. The system restores continence by allowing manual voiding and automatic cuff reinflation.
This three-piece system—cuff, pump, and balloon—is connected by kink‑resistant tubing to simulate natural sphincter function. Its 6.5 cm cuff size is ideal for patients requiring a larger circumference compression to achieve continence. Upon voiding, the patient manually activates the pump, and the cuff automatically reinflates, eliminating leakage. With over 40 years of use and more than 250,000 implants, the AMS 800 is recognized as the gold standard for treating post-prostate surgery incontinence, offering a ~79% dry/improved rate and ~72% device survival at 5 years.
