Urinary artificial sphincter

Urologia Journal, 1995
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, 2016
Implantation 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.

Continent Urinary Diversion Using an Artificial Urinary Sphincter

British Journal of Urology, 1992
Summary— We report a new and simplified method of continent urinary diversion employing a modified AMS 800 artificial urinary sphincter (AUS). Our aim in using this artificial valve is to make a stoma continent, while allowing intermittent catheterisation. The AMS 800 pump is replaced by a subcutaneous injection
