A system for performing irrigation of a body cavity includes a reservoir containing an irrigation liquid, a catheter and a controller. The catheter is configured to be at least partially inserted into the body cavity and has a flushing passage, a drain passage and a retention balloon. A waste drain valve is in fluid communication with the drain passage of the catheter and is movable between a closed configuration, where waste is retained within the drain passage, and an open configuration where waste flows through the drain passage. The controller is in fluid communication with the reservoir and the catheter, and has a pump and a valve assembly. The valve assembly is changeable between configurations where, when the pump is actuated, irrigation liquid is pumped from the reservoir to the retention balloon, from the reservoir to the flushing passage of the catheter and from the retention balloon to the reservoir.

The invention relates to a method for filling an inflatable catheter balloon of a device for transanally introducing an infusion into the rectum or colon of a patient by means of a filling device, wherein a fill volume or a filling pressure prevailing in the catheter balloon is increased in two or more steps until there occurs a gradual, user-controllable, pneumatically initiated expansion of portions of the bowel wall, thus triggering a coordinated defecation reflex, wherein the timing and intensity of the triggering stimulus can be determined to the greatest possible extent by the user.

A portable bidet can include a bidet tank that can contain a liquid for personal washing, a hand pump, a bidet hose, a control valve with a control lever, an angulated wand that includes a bend with a re-angulation, a spray nozzle, such that the portable bidet can be used by a person sitting on a toilet, such that the angulated wand protrudes downward and rearward between legs of the person, such that the bend of the angulated wand directs the spray of the liquid towards a perineal-genital-anal area of the person. The liquid can include water, and optionally soap and a hemorrhoid treatment composition.

An irrigation fluid dispensing tool well suited for use in a combination suction and irrigation tool has a frame carrying a surge flow pump formed of a flow controller of a manipulable handgrip of the tool handle, compressible irrigation fluid reservoir, and frame where the flow controller preferably is formed of a handle lever of the handgrip that is displaceable, preferably pivotable, between one or more of a surge flow actuation position, flow obstructing actuation position, and flow initiating position. The lever actuates a valve, preferably a pinch valve, when displaced toward the flow obstructing actuation position. The lever actuates the surge pump by compressing the reservoir, preferably squeeze bulb, against the frame when the handgrip is squeezed. The lever can be assembled to the frame in a protective shipping and storage position and is movable to a tool operating position providing irrigation fluid flow control during tool operation.

This patent application provides a device comprises a flexible and collapsible casing (2) and a straight and fixed applicator nozzle (3) with a lid (4). The casing (2) equipped with an internal capacity of 300 ml, the casing (2) sealed along its perimeter by fusion and/or ultrasound, being further anatomical and presenting one of its sides (L1) curvilinear in a convex way and the other side (L2) presents small ripples (6) for the fingers; the applicator nozzle (3) of the device (1) is fixed to the casing (2) through pressure and has a dimension of 60 mm, whereby the fixed applicator nozzle (3) of the device (1) is presented structured as a long and smooth tubular element (7), on whose base (5) a plurality of circular transverse elements (8) are provided, parallel to each other, designed as means of bracing, presenting a larger diameter than the applicator tubular element (7).

In some embodiments, a catheter device may include a catheter including a proximal end and a distal end. The catheter device may further include a connector coupled to the proximal end of the catheter. The connector may include a base having a recess configured to receive the distal end of the catheter and may include a hinged portion configured to couple to the base to clamp the catheter within the recess.

Systems and methods for controlling an irrigation flow rate during a lithotripsy procedure are provided. The system includes a laser configured for lithotripsy procedure, a lithotripsy irrigation system, and a temperature sensor configured to provide input to enable control of a flow of the lithotripsy irrigation system in response to a change in temperature from the operation of the laser.

Components for use in hollow organ irrigation systems are provided, including collapsible and expandable liquid reservoirs, self-supporting liquid containers for liquid reservoirs, and retaining elements for rectal catheters, which may be inflatable or un-inflatable.

A nasal rinsing cap suitable for standard water bottle is disclosed. The body portion of the device can be attached to the top of the bottle. It has a cylindrical void matching the threaded portion of the bottle and a one-way fluid valve attached to another void extending from the cylindrical void and through the body portion. The body portion also includes a one-way air valve allowing the entry of air into the bottle. A top portion is removably or openably attached to the body portion. It has a tubular opening starting near the body portion and extending through the top portion. The top portion is configured so that it has a tip to be contacted with the user's nasal cavities. The top portion also has a pressure zone for closing the fluid valve by applying a pressure on it.

A delivery device includes a base body having an outlet opening and a chamber for receiving a flowable substance to be administered. The base body, having first and second film portions attached to each other by a connection with a plurality of regions, being configured to discharge the substance through the outlet opening by compressing the chamber. The delivery device further includes a pouring adapter tightly connected to the outlet opening. The plurality of regions of the connection include a more resilient region and a less resilient region that are arranged between the chamber and the outlet opening. When the chamber is compressed to discharge the substance through the outlet opening, the less resilient region is configured to come undone and the more resilient region is configured to remain connected so that the substance can be discharged solely through the outlet opening and the pouring adapter by compressing the chamber.
