Artificial Canine Urethral Sphincters
Description: This device is designed specifically for aiding in the relief of incontinence and proven to be most effective when used in conjunction with a subcutaneous access port for precutaneously controlled incremental hydraulic occlusion of the pelvic urethra. They are constructed using only Medical Grade Silicones and are designed for extended implant times.

Artificial Urethral Sphincters Custom Configuration, Research only All Sizes (AUS-*)
$145.00

These occluders are available in a range of lumen sizes from 6mm to 16mm, and in two cuff widths, 11mm & 14mm. Artificial Urethral Sphincter Occluders are recommended for use in conjunction with an SQ port for precutaneously controlled, incremental hydraulic occlusion of the occluder over time. We recommend using normal Saline, hypertonic Saline, Dextrose solution, Sodium Hyaluronate or other biocompatible liquids with sufficient density to achieve the desired degree of occlusion.
