Boston Scientific AMS 800 Artificial Urinary Sphincter 72400174
The Boston Scientific AMS 800 Artificial Urinary Sphincter is a fully implantable device for male stress urinary incontinence. It includes an 11.0 cm silicone occlusive cuff, scrotal control pump, and pressure-regulating balloon. It restores continence by allowing manual voiding and automatic cuff reinflation.
This three-part hydraulic system—occlusive cuff, control pump, and pressure-regulating balloon—is connected via kink-resistant tubing to recreate sphincteric pressure on the urethra. The 11.0 cm cuff is made for patients with the largest urethral circumference, ensuring effective compression without excessive force. When the pump is squeezed, the cuff deflates to allow urination and then auto-reinflates to maintain continence. With a +50‑year track record and over 250,000 implants, the AMS 800 remains the gold standard for male incontinence with consistently high patient satisfaction.
