Boston Scientific AMS 800 Artificial Urinary Sphincter 72400172
The Boston Scientific AMS 800 Artificial Urinary Sphincter is a fully implantable device for male stress urinary incontinence. It features a 10.0 cm silicone occlusive cuff, scrotal control pump, and pressure-regulating balloon. The system restores continence by enabling manual voiding followed by automatic cuff re-inflation.
This three-component hydraulic system—cuff, pump, and balloon—is connected via kink-resistant tubing to simulate sphincter control. The 10.0 cm cuff size is suitable for larger urethral anatomies, ensuring sufficient compression without overpressure. When the pump is activated, the cuff deflates to allow urination and then automatically re-inflates to restore continence. Backed by over 250,000 implants and long-term clinical data, AMS 800 remains the gold standard treatment for post-prostatectomy incontinence.
