Boston Scientific AMS 800 Artificial Urinary Sphincter 72400160
The Boston Scientific AMS 800 Artificial Urinary Sphincter is a three-piece device designed to treat male stress urinary incontinence. It mimics the natural urinary sphincter by opening and closing the urethra. This is commonly used after prostate surgery to restore continence.
The AMS 800 system consists of an inflatable cuff, a control pump, and a pressure-regulating balloon that work together to control urination. It provides effective continence by closing the urethra until the user activates the pump to release urine. The cuff automatically re-inflates after urination, restoring continence without continuous external support. Its long-term durability and high patient satisfaction make it the gold standard in treating severe male incontinence.
