The new TENACIO™ Pump
Powering the AMS 700, the new TENACIO™ Pump is purpose-built from the inside out with advanced engineering, and a bold design that aims to impact outcomes and streamline the patient experience.1
How TENACIO works
A revolution at your fingertips
Identification
The prominent pump bulb grips, as compared to other pumps on the market, are intended to facilitate identification and inflation squeeze efficiency.
Inflation
Engineered for reliable and efficient inflation, regardless of pumping style.
Deflation
High-profile one-press release deflation button provides tactile feedback designed to give patients confidence that deflation has started.
TENACIO features and intended benefits
Engineered to redefine reliability
Independent Valving System
The TENACIO Pump introduces independent valve systems, which are thoughtfully engineered to maximize reliability across a wide user profile and to address potential causes of sticky pump.1
Key intended benefits:
- Independent valving is designed to enable pump activation regardless of fast (2.5 in/s) or slow (0.25 in/s) squeeze rates.
- In bench testing conducted by BSC (n=5), the TENACIO pump was found to have a 27% faster refill rate as compared to MS Pump.*1
- Designed to maintain consistent performance throughout an expected implant life of 10 years.
Intuitive pump design
High-profile deflation button is designed to initiate automatic deflation with one-press release, even when pressed off-axis.
1. High-profile deflation button
High-profile deflation button is designed to initiate automatic deflation with one-press release, even when pressed off-axis.
2. Elongated neck
Elongated neck as compared to the MS Pump is designed to distinguish deflation button from inflation landmarks.
3. Prominent pump grips
Prominent pump grips as compared to other pumps on the market provide anchor points and are designed to facilitate pump control and ease of use.

Caution: U.S. Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
Prior to use, please review the Instructions for Use for a complete listing of indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions and potential adverse events.
Indications for Use: The AMS 700™ Series Inflatable Penile Prosthesis product line is intended for use in the treatment of chronic, organic, male erectile dysfunction (impotence).
Contraindications: The AMS 700 Series Inflatable Penile Prostheses are contraindicated in the patients that have active urogenital infections or active skin infections in the region of surgery or (for the AMS 700 prosthesis with InhibiZone™ Antibiotic Surface Treatment) have a known sensitivity or allergy to rifampin, minocycline or other tetracyclines, or patients with lupus erythematosus because minocycline has been reported to aggravate this condition.
Warnings: Implantation of the device will make latent natural or spontaneous erections, as well as other interventional treatment options, impossible. Men with diabetes, spinal cord injuries or open sores may have an increased risk of infection associated with the implantation of a prosthesis. Failure to evaluate and promptly treat erosion may result in a substantial worsening of the condition leading to infection and loss of tissue. Implantation may result in penile curvature, or scarring. Pre-existing abdominal or penile scarring or contracture may make surgical implantation more complicated or impractical. If a hypersensitivity reaction develops to a device coated with InhibiZone, the penile prosthesis should be removed and the patient treated appropriately.
Precautions: Migration of the device components can occur if the cylinders are improperly sized, if the pump or the reservoir is not positioned properly, or if the tubing lengths are incorrect.
Potential Adverse Events: May include device malfunction/failure leading to additional surgery, device migration potentially leading to exposure through the tissue, device/tissue erosion, infection, unintended-inflation of the device and pain/soreness. MH-545408-AB
