Boston Scientific AMS 800 Artificial Urinary Sphincter 72400098
The Boston Scientific AMS 800 Artificial Urinary Sphincter is a completely implanted, fluid-filled device to treat male stress urinary incontinence. It includes a urethral cuff, scrotal control pump, and pressure-regulating balloon. The system allows men to regain continence by manually deflating the cuff to urinate, then automatically re-inflating afterward.
The AMS 800 is the long-established gold standard for male SUI post-prostate surgery, with over 250,000 implants worldwide since the 1970s. Its silicone elastomer components are connected by kink-resistant tubing and feature selectable pressure ranges (51–80 cm H₂O) and cuff sizes to match anatomy. Patients operate the device via a manual scrotal pump to void and tube pressure automatically restores continence. Long-term studies report around a 79% success (dry or improved) rate and 72% device survival at five years.
