Product Overview

A patient-operated hydraulic continence system

AMS 800 coordinates an occlusive cuff, control pump, and pressure-regulating balloon to increase urethral resistance and permit patient-controlled voiding.

Its professional role depends on appropriate patient evaluation, component selection, implantation, activation, education, and long-term follow-up under current instructions.

Technical Product Details

Key technical considerations for AMS 800 evaluation

The technical details explain how component ranges and hydraulic operation inform specialist planning without replacing patient-specific assessment.

Artificial Urinary Sphincter System

AMS 800 is an implant system that may be considered in selected stress urinary incontinence treatment pathways.

Hydraulic Mechanism

The system uses a hydraulic mechanism based on fluid transfer between its components.

Control Pump

The scrotal control pump allows the patient to activate the system.

Pressure-Regulating Balloon

The pressure-regulating balloon contributes to hydraulic pressure management within the system.

System Components

Component selection and technical specifications should be evaluated according to current official documentation.

Patient Suitability

Product suitability is determined according to clinical condition, anatomy, ability to operate the system, and specialist physician evaluation.

Implant structure

AMS 800 is a fully implanted, fluid-filled system made from solid silicone elastomer. Its cuff, control pump, and pressure-regulating balloon form a closed hydraulic system.

Configurable component range

Official product specifications list cuff sizes from 3.5 to 11.0 cm so the clinical team can evaluate sizing against patient-specific tissue assessment and current instructions.

Pressure-regulating balloon ranges

Current official specifications distinguish 51–60, 61–70, and 71–80 cm H₂O pressure-regulating balloon ranges. Selection is a component-level clinical decision governed by current product instructions.
