Peristeen® - how it works

Peristeen helps you empty your bowels by introducing water into the bowel via the rectum - this is also known as anal irrigation.The lower part of the bowel is emptied so efficiently, it reduces not only the risk of constipation by preventing the build-up of stool, but also the risk of having a bowel accident.

Used routinely,daily or every other day, Peristeen offers you the confidence to do more in your everyday life. 



Peristeen is portable and lightweight system with several unique features that make irrigation easy.

The catheter is pre-coated for smoother, easier insertion and has a soft inflatable balloon, which sits inside the rectum during irrigation, so you don’t have to worry about holding the catheter in place.

Peristeen can be used by a wide range of people from children to adults, however before starting on Peristeen, a thorough examination by your doctor or nurse is compulsory.

The rectal catheter is available in two different sizes. Read more about the small catheter here.
