Hi all, I was reminded recently by another member, petelanddownunder thanks mate, about another Bowel Management system out there called Paraflush. have anyone else here heard of it ?
Among the endless adjustments that all spinal cord injury patients face throughout the recovery process is that of bowel movements. After complying with the traditional rehab routine of stool softeners, laxatives, waiting and manual extraction, I thought, "You've got to be kidding me. Is this the best you can do?" My mechanical background and natural aptitude for engineering assisted me during experimentation with other methods to induce a bowel movement; something and some way to make the process quicker, easier and cleaner. I had three main criteria; first, it had to be reliable; second, it had to be simple enough for anyone to understand; and third, it had to be affordable.
I personally think it's a great idea, but my contenance nurse doesn't. her main issue is that you can only flush your Bowels with cold water, not good apparently. But the makers do have a portable unit that you can use with warm water
Go where you want to go - when you want to go. The Paraflush Portable unit can take the hassel and worry out of your bowel movement program. Every unit is hand assembled with high quality plastic components for durability and dependability. Just fill it with warm water and pump up some pressure for a pre-determined engineered gentle water flow. Then follow the same instructions provided in our instructional video on the Installation and Use page. An Instruction Manual and Product Guide are included. For hygienic reasons.
