Publication number: 20240252736Abstract: 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: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2024Publication date: August 1, 2024Inventors: Thit Rose Hagen, Henrik Bork Bjerregaard, Ole Hougaard, Lars Monroy

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: 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
