I need some advice on how to build a specialized type of enema equipment. I want to imitate the functions of colonic irrigation.
There is a difference between an enema and colonic irrigation. An enema requires you to hold in a large volume of liquid for a long time. It can be very uncomfortable. Colonic irrigation involve the insertion of a small amount of liquid which is released in a few seconds. the process is repeated many times until a bowel movement occurs. It is much more comfortable.
A colonic irrigation usually requires a visit to a dedicated colonic clinic. These clinics are few and far between. A visit usually costs $100. There are some home versions of the equipment, but this equipment is very expensive and not designed to be used by one person alone. I am trying to build an inexpensive version of the home equipment.
I would need two rubber bags. One bag is a standard enema bag which should be at least 1 gallon in capacity. I prefer the type of bag where the hose screws into the bottom of the bag. I do not like the open-top fountain design as this is prone to spilling and allows heat to escape. The hose is standard. I prefer a metal clamp. the plastic clamps are unreliable.
I also need a drain bag. This should also be 1 gallon in capacity. I need a larger screw-in adapter with a larger hole through it. I need to attach a larger diameter hose. This is a waste collection bag.
I need a plastic "Y" connector to connect the 2 hoses together. Since the 2 hoses are of different diameters, this may get complicated. I need an oversize metal clamp for the drain hose.
I also need a large diameter rectal nozzle which will allow waste to drain out through the nozzle. These nozzles do exist for the colonic irrigation trade, but it is difficult for the average person to purchase this item. I prefer a nozzle with an inflatable balloon which can be inflated inside the rectum.
The clean water bag would be hung just like a regular enema bag. The drain bag would be hung below my level as I lie in my bed. By opening and closing the 2 metal clamps, I can imitate the function of colonic irrigation.
Does anyone know where to purchase these parts?
