The Artificial Urinary Sphincter ZSI 375 PF is used to treat masculine urinary severe incontinence. The system simulates the function of a natural sphincter that opens and closes the urethra, controlled by the patient.
The ZSI 375 PF is an AUS made with medical silicone. It is SWISS made by ZSI and has been commercialized in Europe and over 50 countries worldwide.
It is composed of a Cuff implanted around the urethra and a Pump unit is inserted inside the scrotum. It has a tank regulating the pressure.
When the Cuff is closed, the urine is kept in the bladder. To empty it, the patient has to press and release the Pump button once. The Cuff opens and the flow of urine goes through the urethra. It closes automatically after 2 minutes.
