Peristeen Accessory Unit

Peristeen is a transanal irrigation system for people who suffer from fecal incontinence and constipation. Using Peristeen helps prevent involuntary bowel leakage and/or constipation.

The Peristeen accessory unit is to be used with the Peristeen system.

The Peristeen accessory unit contains:

• A water bag
• 15 catheters

The water bag can be used a maximum of 15 times. It is designed to stand on the floor and can easily be moved around by using the unique large handle.

The catheter is for single use only. Therefore, use a new catheter each time you irrigate. The catheter is pre-coated for smooth, easy 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 empties the bowel by introducing water into the bowel using a rectal catheter. The anal irrigation procedure should always be carried out with care. Bowel perforation is an extremely rare, but serious and potentially lethal complication to anal irrigation and will require immediate admission to hospital, often requiring surgery. The risk information provided here is not comprehensive. To learn more, talk to your healthcare provider to understand the risks and benefits to determine if Peristeen is right for you. This treatment is prescribed by your physician. Although many patients benefit from the use of this device, results may vary.
