The gold standard
More than 250,000 AMS* artificial urinary sphincters have been sold since the technology was initially developed in 1972. Today the AMS 800 Artificial Urinary Sphincter is the gold standard treatment for moderate to severe male stress urinary incontinence (SUI) following prostate surgery.
How it works
The AMS 800 Artificial Urinary Sphincter is a completely concealed, implantable, fluid-filled, solid silicone elastomer device that treats male SUI resulting from intrinsic sphincter deficiency following prostate surgery. It mimics normal sphincter function by opening and closing the urethra at the control of the patient.
Why choose the AMS 800
Patient satisfaction
Studies have shown:
- 94% of 148 patients surveyed would “definitely” or “probably” recommend the surgery to a family member or friend.1
- More than 90% of 278 patients surveyed reported they would have the surgery again.2
- Out of 105 patients implanted with an AMS 800 AUS, 90% of patients with a history of urethroplasty (n=30) and 94.7% of non-urethroplasty patients (n=75) were satisfied with the overall surgical outcome.3
*Includes all versions of AMS (now Boston Scientific) artificial urinary sphincters.
