Abstract: An enema administering apparatus insertable into the rectum for delivery of a contrast medium to internal portions of a patient's anatomy includes an enema tip wherein the enema tip has a contrast medium passageway extending therethrough and is able to be coupled through the use of a disclosed adapter to a source of contrast medium. Also disclosed in various arrangements is an air passageway which is exterior of the contrast medium passageway and is able to be coupled to a source of air for double contrast studies. The air passageway may be a passageway disposed within the enema tip construction or may be a separate tubing member joined therewith in a suitable arrangement to introduce air for the double contrast studies once the barium has been evacuated from the patient. Also disclosed are air valve means that close the air passageway to the flow of barium in one direction yet open for the flow of air in the opposite direction.

Abstract: An enema administering apparatus insertable into the rectum for delivery of a contrast medium to internal portions of a patient's anatomy includes an enema tube joined to an enema tip wherein the enema tube and enema tip have a common contrast medium passageway extending therethrough and an air passageway which is exterior of the contrast medium passageway and is able to be coupled to a source of air for double contrast studies. The air passageway may be a passageway disposed within the enema tube and enema tip construction or may be a separate tubing member joined therewith in a suitable arrangement to introduce air for the double contrast studies once the barium has been evacuated from the patient. Air introduction means and contrast medium introduction means are provided by various arrangements suitable for use with the main enema administering apparatus concept disclosed.

Abstract: An enema tip retention apparatus for retaining an inserted enema tip in a patient during the administering of an enema to the patient includes an adjustable belt for encompassing the waist of the patient and including depending straps which couple to a substantially flat mounting plate. The mounting plate has a clamp disposed thereon and a clearance aperture therethrough and includes two collar buttons which are arranged for connection to the two depending straps. The clamp has a ratcheted arrangement such that its clearance aperture diameter may be varied, depending upon the enema tube outside diameter which is inserted therethrough.
