@billbale
Artificial urinary sphincter. It’s a device they put around your urethra That closes it off, so urine doesn’t leak until you pump a little bulb to reverse the blockage.

If you look it up on the web, you’ll find the devices.

@billbale, it can be frustrating when members sling around acronyms without providing the spelled out full name. That's why the members created this handy list.

You can bookmark the list for future reference.

To everyone: Please spell out abbreviations, expecially when opening a discussion. Sometimes abbreviations are necessary to fit the title into the 70 charater limit, but you can spell it out in the first message. Thanks for helping new members.
