Boston Scientific AMS 800 Artificial Urinary Sphincter 72400161
The Boston Scientific AMS 800 Artificial Urinary Sphincter is an implantable, fluid-filled device designed to treat male stress urinary incontinence. It includes an inflatable cuff, scrotal pump, and pressure-regulating balloon. The device allows patients to manually control urination and regain continence.
This model features a cuff sized at 4.5 cm for optimized urethral compression following prostate surgery. The three-piece system—cuff, pump, balloon—is connected by kink-resistant tubing to ensure reliable fluid flow and long-term performance. It provides a proven mechanism of action: the cuff automatically re-inflates after patient-activated voiding, restoring continence without continuous external support. Clinical data indicate strong long-term efficacy and durability; however, mechanical issues like balloon leaks have been reported in rare cases.
