Abstract
Until the early 1970s, most impotence, or what is now known as erectile dysfunction (ED), was assumed to be of psychogenic origin, and even urologists had little interest in its treatment. F. Brantley Scott, a urologist from the Baylor College of Medicine; William E. Bradley, a neurologist; and Gerald W. Timm, a biomedical engineer (both from the University of Minnesota) collaborated to develop an artificial urinary sphincter and an inflatable penile prosthesis. Together with a businessman, Robert Buuck, Drs. Scott, Bradley, and Timm formed American Medical Systems (AMS) to manufacture and market these devices.
