[origin: WO2007137594A1] The device is made of silastic in order to minimize body irritation. It i composed of a longitudinal tube with a balloon and a transverse pad or a tube The longitudinal tube is formed of a neck (below the balloon) to fit in the anal area. The neck is 2 cm long. The balloon should accommodate 15-30 cc of air The base (designed in the shape of hygienic pads for ladies) should be very sof and malleable to fit into the anal cleft. It should be 7 cm long and 2-4 cm wid and has the valve opening to fill the balloon by a syringe. The device can b modified to be used by patients with colostomy by just changing the base t become more rounded. This may negate the needs to use colostomy bag. Th device can be used in bed ridden patients to arrange for daily washout by having a hole through the longitudinal tube.
