@vallee_2 what's an expanding syringe?

It's a balloon with a check valve one fills with water from a tap like a Shy or Sonata syringe. The first patent I've seen for such syringes was granted in 1940's Typically, they can be filled to 2 quarts. More than that can cause damage to the balloon or valve. The Shy was originally sold for either douche or enema. The Shy could release water with a fair amount of pressure.

This very old thread that has a good listing of enema bag names...

Around 1880 Benjamin Franklin Goodrich M. D. went into the rubber business manufacturing rubber goods used in hospitals. This included enema bags, tubing and black hard rubber nozzles. As the auto business was growing he started manufacturing tires. He sold his enema goods in his tire stores.
