AMS AMBICOR™
Penile Prosthesis
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
NOTE: Refer to the Operating Room Manual
for further information on the AMS Ambicor
Device and its implantation.
Brief Device Description
The AMS Ambicor Penile Prosthesis is a
closed fluid-filled system consisting of two
implanted components: a pair of cylinders
implanted in the corpora cavernosa, and
a pump implanted in the scrotum. Kink-
resistant tubing connects the components.
The device is delivered prefilled with
normal saline and preconnected. The
cylinders are inflated as fluid is pumped
from the reservoirs, which are located at
the proximal end of the cylinders, to the
main portion of the cylinder, creating
an erection. They are deflated as fluid is
transferred back to the reservoirs, making
the penis flaccid once again. This device
contains solid silicone elastomer. These
devices are for men who, after appropriate
patient history and diagnostic evaluations
as well as discussions with the urologist
about other alternative treatment
methods, are determined to be suitable
candidates for implantation surgery.
Indications for Use
The AMS Ambicor Penile Prosthesis is
intended for use in the treatment of
chronic, organic, male erectile dysfunction
(impotence).
Contraindication
The implantation of this device is
contraindicated in patients who have
active urogenital infections or active skin
infections in the region of surgery.
