Question to owners of Rüsch ballon nozzles

I've finally decided to buy Rüsch ballon nozzles:

https://www.medtech3000.de/Ruesch-Doppelballon-Darmrohr-nach-Gaul-Doppelballondarmrohr::8.html

So i have several questions for experienced users of them.

1. How many pumps is safe maximum for each of that nozzles?

And what is maximum diameter them inflated to?

2. Which diameter of tube do you prefer for single ballon nozzle (6/8/10/12mm)? And why?

3. What do you use to lubricate them? Is it safe to use hand cream or castile soap?

4. Is single ballon version tends to leak much more then double ballon?

Thanks for your answers!

I put in 5-6 pumps, which puts it at about 7.5 cm diameter. Seems to be durable at that size. I have the double, never used the single. The lumen on the double is kind of narrow and so you won't have a "gushing" enema.

I use water based jelly. NEVER use any oil on them. I don't even use soaps that claim to moisturize around it. Castile soap lube probably would work but keep in mind it will burn a bit.

Single balloon-or-protrusion retention nozzles will leak some if they get pushed into the rectum far enough to break the seal. This may or may not be a problem for you.

1. those things are pretty solid with regards to pumping. I bought one of those and one of the other kinds (https://www.medtech3000.de/Doppelballon-Darmrohr-mit-2-Geblaese-Darmkatheter-Ballondarmrohr::409.html). And the other ones blew up much faster just from normal use, but these first ones OP mentioned are still functional. you need to watch out for that little yellow part on the little hose though - mine stretched out and I had to fix it. then it broke again.

2. I like to be able to have more flow so I ordered a 12 mm. It does not make a lot of difference actually.

3. They are latex, so I would not use hand cream. soap should be fine (but would not be fun for the insertion). do not use vaseline, but the regular water-soluble lubricant should be fine.

4. I find the single balloon better to be honest, the double balloon is a bit awkward with how one pump pumps both of them, so you are either underinflated on the inside or overinflated on the outside. unless the single balloon goes in (which it shouldn't, because the pressure from inside you will keep it tight against the anus), then the seal should be decent.

I recently bought the double balloon one again as one I had a while back burst (although I gather there is an adhesive similar to Silpoxy for the silicone ones.) It works very well and 'sits' properly unlike the current Cleanstream/Klystra and other silicone nozzles. Six to seven pumps per inflator produces nice inflation and 100% seal: very comfortable for extended sessions. Its supplied with a nice barb which allows you to connect different hose sizes. I have mine connected to silicone tubing to which I have taped a multispeed bullet vibrator for additional thrills. As its Latex no oils or vaseline, I just use water based lubes or KY jelly. After use I wash it out in soapy water, rinse, dry and put in a separate bag. It isn't as effective as the siliconenozzles single balloon nozzle which is currently the Rolls Royce of inflatable nozzles (hoping for their double balloon soon to compare...) but is very usable. It is not suitable for those with latex allergies: I do wish medtech would also bring out a silicone version which you can use with oil enemas and have a cavalier approach to lubricants. But all in all a very nice double balloon system.

This is the double balloon catheter made by Rusch that I used. From the description, "30 FR VIRDEN RECTAL BALLOON CATHETER. LATEX, 2 OPPOSED EYES, OPEN TIP, PEAR SHAPE 75CC BALLOON, IRRIGATION TIP SYRINGE FOR INFLATION, 40 CM (16") LONG.

https://www.medicalmega.com/product/30-fr-virden-rectal-balloon-catheter

The catheter worked very well for retention enemas and will last for years with proper care. I placed a snipped condom over the business end to both make insertion easier and to protect the latex. I used a water based, thick lubricant, Maximus, from Britain. The size, FR30, is about 10mm in diameter. Three full pumps from a blood pressure type bulb inflated the balloons sufficiently to produce an effective seal. Employing screw clamps after pumping the balloons will ensure that the air does not leak out during use.

I had one of these and both of the balloons burst over time. I haven't tried the silicone version but am curious about the durability of it. Any reports of balloon bursts with them?

Looks like the inner balloon of the double balloon is assembled backwards in the catalog photo...shouldn't the narrow end go into the anus first for easy insertion?

JMHO

Yes, and not only for easier insertion but so that the larger section when inserted holds better against the sphincter muscle. Oriented the wrong way it could slip out easier if not inflated enough.

I have one of the double balloon Rusch nozzles from MedTech3000 and love it. Much easier to insert than a fluted double balloon nozzle like the classic B—-x. The long inflation tube plus the inflation bulb supplied with mine which also has a long tube makes inflating and adjusting inflation very easy. I was a bit concerned that it could’ve pushed out due to both balloons being connected, but the seal is very good and secure. I use 5-6 pumps of a standard inflation bulb which feels great and seals me up good. I use KY for insertion. Enjoy!

Sadly medtech says the nozzles are no longer being manufactured, although I haven't been able to confirm that

Trying to find and get a hold of the manufacturer to confirm this and to see if they'd be willing to manufacture these for me/my company to sell of course I'm sure they'll have order minimums and such but still

And failing that would they be willing to sell the design and such so that I could license another manufacturer to make these works of art

Will keep you all appraised as much as possible about my progress

There is inflation that latex double balloon nozzles are no longer made. I think I saw similar notice on Rusch too. Nevertheless both are still available for sale on Medtech website.

I wish I'd seen this before I ordered the Cleanstream product. Even then this thread is sufficiently old that I would have assumed that Medtech had run out of the nozzles in question. I'm pleased to report they haven't, and that I just ordered a set of two off their website. Be warned, shipping to the US is expensive, cost me €45.

I concur... CleanStream is over-priced junk. Connections give way the first use.
