Abstract
An artificial urinary sphincter system includes a cuff, a pump, and a conduit provided to fluidly couple the cuff to the pump. The cuff is integrated to have a first compartment and a storage compartment. The first compartment is configured to contact the urethra and the storage compartment is fluidly coupled to the first compartment independent of the conduit. The pump is operable to cause a liquid to move between the first compartment and the storage compartment. The cuff is a pressurizable reservoir that is sized to be placed around a urethra of a user and configured to coapt the urethra in treating urinary incontinence.
