Peristeen anal irrigation system

Peristeen is a transanal irrigation system for people who suffer from faecal incontinence and constipation. Using Peristeen minimizes the likelihood of involuntary bowel leakage and/or constipation.

Peristeen empties the bowel by introducing water into the bowel using a rectal catheter. It is performed while sitting on the toilet. The water stimulates the muscles in the bowel and flushes out the stool, leaving the lower half of the bowel empty. Peristeen empties the bowel so efficiently, that it prevents faecal incontinence and constipation for up two days.

As it only requires water, Peristeen is an effective alternative to other bowel management methods requiring the use of medication. It can be administered either on your own or with assistance and enables you to decide when and where you want to empty your bowel. Used routinely, daily or every other day, it can help reduce the physical discomfort and mental worry that faecal incontinence and constipation may bring, making it easier to take part in work and social activities.
