Treatment of Urinary Problems: What You Need to Know About AMS-800 Artificial Urinary Sphincter (AUS) <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/strong>How the AMS-800 Works<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n
The AMS-800 Artificial Urinary Sphincter is a surgically implanted medical device designed to mimic the function of a healthy urinary sphincter. It consists of three components: a cuff that wraps around the urethra, a pump placed in the scrotum or labia, and a balloon reservoir located in the abdomen. The cuff remains closed to prevent urine leakage during normal activities. When the patient needs to urinate, they manually squeeze the pump, which temporarily opens the cuff, allowing urine to flow. After urination, the cuff automatically recloses, restoring continence. This mechanism provides reliable control for patients with severe SUI.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
