Embodiment Construction

[0015] The enema device 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention will refer to figure 1 Best shown, where the enema device is used by a patient A sitting on a toilet B. The enema device 10 is shown for use with a prefilled disposable enema 12 containing a suitable medical fluid for the enema. It should be appreciated that enema device 10 may alternatively be used with any suitable enema, such as an enema pack or a bulb syringe. Enema device 10 may be used by patient A while sitting on toilet B for self-administration of the enema; however, patient A may instead be standing or sitting in any suitable position whereby enema device 10 may be effectively used.

[0016] refer to figure 2 and 3 , the enema device 10 includes a hollow rigid elongated body 14 that acts as a lever against the toilet bowl B or other suitable abutment device to support the lower enema device 10 against the patient's buttocks (see figure 1 ). The elongate body 14 is preferably circula...

Abstract

An enema device for use with a source of enema fluid having an elongated nozzle includes a hollow elongated rigid body having an interior extending between first and second ends and a feed portion formed at the first end defining a feed portion opening. A hollow nozzle receiving portion extends from the feed portion opening and is in fluid communication with the feed portion opening and the interior of the hollow elongated body. The hollow nozzle receiving portion is sized and configured to slidably receive the elongated nozzle, wherein when the elongated nozzle is slidably received within the hollow nozzle receiving portion, the elongated nozzle is in fluid communication with the interior of the hollow elongated body. The enema device further includes a discharge portion disposed at the second end of the elongated body. The discharge portion defines a discharge opening in communication with the interior of the hollow elongated body.

Description

Background technique [0001] An enema is a common medical procedure by which fluid is injected into a patient's rectum in order to induce bowel movement. Patients with certain physical disorders in which active bowel control is impaired often require this treatment. [0002] Currently, medical devices exist in the art for administering enemas to patients in need of such medical procedures. At least one device includes an enema squeeze bottle filled with a fluid for inducing bowel movement, the enema squeeze bottle covered by a shorter applicator nozzle to be inserted into the patient's rectum. Such applicator nozzles of conventional enema applicators often cause discomfort and irritation when inserted. Accordingly, it would be desirable to have an enema device that safely and effectively delivers an enema to a patient without causing discomfort. [0003] Furthermore, enemas are usually administered to patients at home, when the medical assistance required does not necessaril...
