An anal irrigation system including a control unit (2) is provided. The control unit (2) is connected to an external tube (4) by an extension cord (9), so that pivoting of the control unit (2) with respect to the external tube (4) is possible.

A system for treating internal bleeding via application of a heated irrigant, such that the heated irrigant is delivered at a flow rate of between 2 cc/s and 12 cc/s and at a temperature of between 46 degrees Celsius and 52 degrees Celsius.

Embodiments of a fluid warming container and a fluid warming device are described. The fluid warming container defines an interior volume arranged to receive a liquid. The fluid warming container also includes a heating element, a power source, and a switch configured to selectively control a flow of electrical current from the power source to the heating element to warm the liquid. The fluid warming device includes an elongate housing, a heating element, a power source, and a switch configured to selectively control a flow of electrical current from the power source to the heating element to warm a liquid in contact with the fluid warming device.

The present invention relates to an enema device comprising a delivery container arranged for accommodating an enema and an applicator nozzle for dispersing the enema, and wherein the delivery container is arranged as a hand held pump and wherein a cross-section of said delivery container has the shape of an oval. Thereby is provided a simple, inexpensive and essentially maintenance free enema device which can be used for self-administrating of an enema.

The present invention relates to an enema device (1;1′) comprising a delivery container (2) and an applicator nozzle (3), and wherein said delivery container (2) comprises two cavities (6,8;6′,8′), an outer cavity (6;6′) defined by an squeezable external body (7;7′), and an inner cavity (8;8′) defined by an inner flexible bladder (9;9′), and wherein one of said cavities (6;8′) is communicating with an outlet (10) for dispersing the enema though the applicator nozzle (3) and the other cavity (8;6′) is communicating with the surroundings via an air inlet (12). Thereby is provided a simple, inexpensive and essentially maintenance free enema device (1;1′) which can be used for self-administrating of an enema. The device (1;1′) will not only effectively prevent air from being mixed with the enema, but also ensure that the user easily can expel the enema, as the device (1;1′) will be perceived as full of enema at all times.

A bowel irrigation system comprising a container adapted for containing a liquid, a catheter comprising an inflated balloon, a tubing connecting the container and the catheter, a pump, a control unit for controlling a flow of fluid in the system, and a pressure sensor is disclosed. The system comprises means for deflating the balloon, as a response to an assessment of a first pressure inside the balloon being greater than a first threshold value, by reducing the amount of liquid inside the balloon by a first amount of liquid. In addition, a method for deflating an inflatable balloon, as a response to an assessment of a first pressure inside the balloon being greater than a first threshold value, by reducing the amount of liquid inside the balloon by a first amount of liquid is disclosed.

Fluid management systems are disclosed that include software-controlled, electro-mechanical devices used in combination with single-use or multi-use tubing sets. Functions of the fluid management systems can include fluid pressurization, fluid warming, fluid deficit monitoring (including flow-based and weight-based), suction, fluid collection, and fluid evacuation (including indirect-to-drain and direct-to-drain options). The systems can be configured based on the surgical environment (e.g., operating room or physician office) as well as other user needs and/or preferences.

The invention relates to a device for transanally introducing an infusion into the rectum or colon of a patient, said device comprising a catheter with a catheter shaft wherein, to ensure the most practicable catheter insertion possible, the catheter shaft is equipped in the proximal, preanal region with gripping depressions to accommodate the fingers gripping the catheter during insertion.

An active irrigation system for controlling delivery of irrigation fluid to a surgical site includes a chamber having at least one fluid port for introducing an irrigation fluid from a fluid source into the chamber and delivering the irrigation fluid to a surgical site. A variable pressure source is provided in fluid communication with the chamber and is configured to pressurize the chamber. A pressure sensor also in fluid communication with the chamber monitors the pressure within the chamber and a controller adjusts the variable pressure source to maintain the desired irrigation pressure within the chamber.

The invention comprises an enema device configured for fluid delivery and evacuation management—which includes a retaining component for retaining a part of the enema device within the rectum, coupled with a collection component for collecting stool or liquid discharge received from the rectum. The device may additionally include a fluid delivery component to enable delivery of enema fluid to the colon, and/or a withdrawal component to support safe removal of the device from the patient.
