Patent number: 12702748Abstract: The present invention relates to an enema device comprising a delivery container and an applicator nozzle, and wherein said delivery container comprises two cavities, an outer cavity defined by a squeezable external body, and an inner cavity defined by an inner flexible bladder, and wherein one of said cavities is communicating with an outlet for dispersing the enema though the applicator nozzle and the other cavity is communicating with the surroundings via an air inlet. Thereby is provided a simple, inexpensive and essentially maintenance free enema device which can be used for self-administrating of an enema. The device will not only effectively prevent air from being mixed with the enema, but also ensure that the user easily can expel the enema, as the device will be perceived as full of enema at all times.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2022Date of Patent: August 11, 2026Assignee: QUFORA A/SInventors: Thit Rose Hagen, Ana Latorre Duque

Patent number: 12533460Abstract: The present invention relates to an enema device comprising a delivery container arranged for accommodating an enema and an applicator nozzle for dispersing the enema, and wherein the delivery container is arranged as a hand held pump and for remaining in an at least partly compressed configuration when the user releases the pressure on said delivery container during use. Thereby is provided a simple, inexpensive and essentially maintenance free enema device which can be used for self-administrating of an enema.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2024Date of Patent: January 27, 2026Assignee: Qufora A/SInventors: Thit Rose Hagen, Birthe Vestbo Andersen, Ana Latorre Duque

Patent number: 12296124Abstract: The present invention relates to an enema nozzle (1;18) for an enema system, and wherein said enema nozzle (1;18) comprises a catheter (2) provided with a flexible retention member (3;19) arranged for retaining the enema nozzle in a body cavity in a retention stage, and wherein said retention member is only partially filled with a liquid (15;21) in the retention stage. The combination of a flexible retention member (3;19) that is only partially filled with a liquid (15;21), ensures that the liquid contained in the retention member easily can be displaced/moved around inside the retention member (3;19) during use. In this way the retention member (3;19) remains pliable and flexible enough to be able to conform and adapt to the shape of the colon during use.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2023Date of Patent: May 13, 2025Assignee: Qufora A/SInventors: Henrik Bork Bjerregaard, Kristian Bjerg

Patent number: 12036377Abstract: A hand-operated flow regulator is adapted to be inserted between an elastomeric bulb pump and a tubing as a part of an enema flow path. The hand-operated flow regulator comprises a main flow body, and a tubular pump coupling end part having a free pump coupling end and defining a first flow section. The tubular pump coupling end part extends via an exterior regulator body part into a tubular tube coupling end part having a free tube coupling end and defining a second flow section. An interior regulator body part is situated rotatable and substantially coaxially inside the exterior regulator body part, and a pivotable grip is in operative communication with the interior regulator body part to open and close the enema flow path.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2021Date of Patent: July 16, 2024Assignee: Qufora A/SInventors: Henrik Bork Bjerregaard, Ole Hougaard, Lars Monroy, Kristian Bjerg

Patent number: 11980731Abstract: Provided is an enema nozzle for an enema device. Said enema nozzle includes an insertion body with a flexible insertion tip. The flexible insertion tip is located at the insertion end of the insertion body, and said tip will flex when it abuts intestinal tissue. This will provide a smoother insertion, which effectively will alleviate the physical discomfort and pain that a patient may expire during insertion of an enema nozzle.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2021Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Qufora A/SInventors: Thit Rose Hagen, Henrik Bork Bjerregaard, Ole Hougaard, Lars Monroy

Patent number: 11938293Abstract: The present invention relates to a self-retaining enema nozzle (1,1?,1?,1??) and an enema system (34) comprising said enema nozzle. The enema nozzle (1,1?,1?,1??) comprises a catheter (2) provided with a retention member (3) arranged for being placed in a compact form during insertion in a body cavity and for being placed in an expanded form for retaining the enema nozzle in said body cavity, and wherein the enema nozzle (1,1?,1?,1??) further comprises a restriction unit (4) arranged for placing the retention member (3) in its compact form. Since the restriction unit (4) holds, e.g. keeps, places and/or maintains the retention member (3) in the compact form both before and during insertion, any discomfort and/or harm that may be experienced using the conventional enema nozzles/devices is effectively prevented.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Qufora A/SInventors: Thit Rose Hagen, Henrik Bork Bjerregaard, Ole Hougaard, Lars Monroy
