Boston Scientific AMS 800 Artificial Urinary Sphincter 72400168
The Boston Scientific AMS 800 Artificial Urinary Sphincter is an implantable device designed for male stress urinary incontinence. It features an 8.0 cm silicone occlusive cuff, scrotal control pump, and pressure-regulating balloon. It enables manual voiding and automatic re-inflation of the cuff afterward.
The AMS 800 system comprises a cuff, balloon reservoir, and control pump connected via kink-resistant tubing to mimic natural sphincter function. The 8.0 cm cuff size suits patients with larger urethral dimensions, ensuring effective compression without overpressure. Upon activating the pump, the cuff deflates to allow urination, then automatically re-inflates to maintain continence. Backed by over 40 years of clinical evidence, this model remains the gold standard for treating post-prostatectomy incontinence with high patient satisfaction rates.
