Peristeen Anal Irrigation has been developed for people who suffer from faecal incontinence and/or chronic constipation, and for people who spend a long time on the toilet due to bowel dysfunction. Its special design means that the system is simple and easy to use, even if you have limited function of your hands.

Peristeen Anal irrigation can be used by people who have conditions such as:

• Neurological disorders such as spinal cord injury, spina bifida , multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, apoplexies, Alzheimer’s disease or brain tumours.
• Sensory disorders, which can occur after surgery for the treatment of colitis, compaction or rectal prolapse.
• Reduced tissue elasticity, which is frequent in elderly people or after multiple births.
• Psychological /psychiatric disorders caused by depersonalisation and role conflicts.

Both adults and children can use Peristeen Anal Irrigation, though it is not recommended for children under 3 years of age or for women who are pregnant and/or breast-feeding.

Used on a regular basis, Peristeen Anal irrigation can help prevent bowel accidents and constipation.

Before starting the anal irrigation procedure, a thorough examination by your doctor or nurse is compulsory.
