  • Patent number: 5951511
    Abstract: A colon cleansing apparatus and method for use thereof for introduction of water into a person's colon to flush out fecal matter. The apparatus is used with a standard colon irrigation unit having a board on which a user sits and a splash shield which holds a disposable tip for introducing water into a user's rectum and which directs water expelled from the rectum through an opening through the board into a toilet. The apparatus replaces the toilet by supporting the irrigation unit on an elevated table top above a drain basin having a drain opening leading to the sewage pipes. Water from elevated warm and cold water tanks flows through tubes into a main tube attached to the tip with a valve midway along each of the pair to blend the water entering the main tube to a desired temperature. A spray of water directed at the drain opening prevents sewage pipe clogs by breaking up expelled fecal matter. A spray washing system self-cleaning the drain basin during use.
