  • Aquaflush Irrigation
    • The Benefits of Renew Aquaflush Irrigation

      Effective bowel emptying is the norm for most people. However, for some, functional or neurogenic bowel disorders cause faecal incontinence or chronic constipation among other symptoms. This can lead to a major impact on the persons quality of life, this is where transanal irrigation can help.
      Regular bowel emptying using transanal irrigation, also known as trans-anal irrigation (TAI), can help people avoid these complications and in turn have a positive impact on their lifestyle.
      Rectal irrigation has been practiced for many hundreds of years. In recent years increasingly the medical profession has been using it as a bowel management solution. Rectal irrigation can offer systematic improvement of the symptoms of faecal incontinence, evacuatory disorders and constipation; often when other therapies have failed. How effective is transanal irrigation? Conservative bowel management, such as manual evacuation, only empties the distal part of the bowel.

    • Clinical Studies

      Studies have shown that a large amount of faeces remains in the colon, after defecation for a person with neurogenic bowel disease. [Fig 3] In contrast the rectum, sigmoid and descending colon have been shown to be completely empty after a person with neurogenic bowel disease has used transanal irrigation. (14, 22, 23) [Fig 4] Figure 3: Conservative bowel management Figure

    • Additional Information, Precautions & Warnings
      • Always follow the directions for use
      • Patients should be fully assessed by a qualified Healthcare Professional before commencing transanal irrigation.
      • Ensure the patient doesn’t have a condition which means they shouldn’t use Irrigation as part of their bowel management
      • Guidance should be given on locating the anus and the best way to hold the cone taking into account the patient’s dexterity as well as the correct angle to insert the cone to ensure comfort
      • Contact a doctor immediately if the patient experiences severe or sustained back pain or abdominal pain, especially if rectal bleeding also occurs
    • Possible Side Effects

      There may be some mild side effects such as abdominal cramping, sweating or chills.
