Abstract | Objective: To characterize and quantify changes in elastic properties and in vivo pressure characteristics of pressure regulating balloons (PRB) over time, we conducted an analysis of the mechanical characteristics of the PRB after removal from patients for revision surgery. Methods: Pressure and elasticity characteristics of new and used 61-70 cm H Results: Twenty-seven used PRBs were analyzed after excluding 3 for alternative pressure ratings and 2 for occult pinpoint leaks. Time from artificial urinary sphincter placement to removal ranged from 0.02-17.6 years (median 8.4, interquartile range (IQR) 5.7-10.0). The mean pressure of all extracted PRBs: 58.8 cm H=O (± 7.4), 17 (62.9%) below the standard operating range. Each year of use in-vivo was associated with 1.09 cm H Conclusion: In PRBs tested for pressure-volume characteristics, increasing PRB age was associated with decreased pressure and elasticity. |
