The Artificial Urinary Sphincter
Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1987Urinary incontinence has many etiologies and a similarly varied and wide-ranging spectrum of therapeutic alternatives. The AMS artificial sphincter represents one of these options that has a distinct, albeit limited, place in certain patients. The authors outline the mechanical details of these devices and present their own clinical experience in a ...

The artificial sphincter is a well-accepted and successful method for restoring urinary continence in selected patients. The patient who will benefit from this device is one who has a poorly or non-functioning urethral sphincter mechanism. The site of inflatable cuff placement is around the bulbous urethral or bladder neck (children, women).

Novel Electromechanic Artificial Urinary Sphincter
IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics, 2016Implantation of an artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) is the treatment of choice for managing severe stress urinary incontinence. This hydromechanical implant mimics a healthy sphincter by exerting a constant circumferential pressure around the urethra to close it and keep urine in the bladder.

The artificial urinary sphincter may be considered one of the methods of choice for the treatment of neurogenic urinary incontinence. In paediatric practice, however, it should not be proposed gratuitously for patients with sphincteric deficits. Obtaining continence is simple if the indications and the technique of implantation are given their due ...

Magnetically Controlled Endourethral Artificial Urinary Sphincter
Annals of Biomedical Engineering, 2016Urinary incontinence is a largely spread disfunction that affects more than 300 million people worldwide. At present, no technological solutions are able to restore continence in a minimally invasive and effective way. In this article the authors report the design, fabrication, and testing of a novel artificial endourethral urinary sphincter able to ...
