Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an enema device. More specifically, it relates to an enema device that can simultaneously handle the injection of enema medication and the extraction of feces while preventing fecal leakage. Background Technology

[0002] An enema is a procedure performed to relieve constipation or to remove feces during surgery or childbirth by injecting an enema solution into the large intestine to clear intestinal contents. Generally, enemas are used for abdominal pain caused by severe constipation, for the diagnosis of colorectal diseases, for colorectal surgery, or for patients with hepatic encephalopathy undergoing colonoscopy.

[0003] However, critically ill patients, such as those with hepatic encephalopathy, often cannot perform enemas themselves and must have them administered by nursing staff. Enema administration involves inserting the enema medication and simultaneously removing stool, both of which require separate procedures, making it inconvenient. Furthermore, the weight of critically ill patients makes it difficult to position them in the necessary posture for an enema. Additionally, there is a risk of stool leakage from the patient's body during an enema.

[0004] The background technology of this utility model is disclosed in international patent WO2010 / 122537 and Korean patent 2016-0117168. Utility Model Content

[0028] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings to enable those skilled in the art to readily implement it. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Furthermore, for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention in the drawings, parts unrelated to the description have been omitted, and similar reference numerals have been used for similar parts throughout the specification.

[0029] When a part of the specification "includes" a certain component, unless otherwise stated, it means that other components may also be included, rather than excluding them. The apparatus constituting the network can be implemented by hardware, software, or a combination of hardware and software.

[0030] In this specification, "applicable" should be interpreted to include both the state of proper use and the state prior to proper use. Furthermore, in this specification, expressions used in the singular are interpreted as either singular or plural unless explicitly stated otherwise, such as "a" or "single".

[0031] Throughout this specification, terms including ordinal numbers such as "first," "second," etc., are used to describe various constituent elements, but the constituent elements are not limited to these terms. These terms are used only to distinguish one constituent element from another. For example, without departing from the scope of this invention, a first constituent element may be referred to as a second constituent element, and similarly, a second constituent element may be referred to as a first constituent element. In the flowcharts described in this specification with reference to the accompanying drawings, the order of operations may be changed, multiple operations may be combined, certain operations may be split, and specific operations may not be performed.

[0032] Figure 1 An exploded perspective view of an enema device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown schematically. Figure 1 The structure of the enema device 100 is merely illustrative of this invention, and the invention is not limited thereto. Therefore, it can be applied to... Figure 1 The structure of the enema device 100 is modified in different ways.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the enema device 100 includes an inner insertion tube 10 and an outer insertion tube 20. Both the inner insertion tube 10 and the outer insertion tube 20 are tubular. The inner insertion tube 10 includes a support rod 101. The support rod 101 extends in one direction (i.e., along the z-axis) to be inserted into the anus. The interior of the support rod 101 may be hollow.

[0034] The outer insertion tube 20 is detachable from the outside of the inner insertion tube 10. The outer insertion tube 20 extends along the z-axis. As a result, the support rod 101 can be inserted into the interior of the outer insertion tube 20 along the dotted line, thereby enclosing the support rod 101 with the outer insertion tube 20. The outer insertion tube 20 includes a cylindrical tube 201. The strength of the cylindrical tube 201 is lower than that of the support rod 101. For example, the cylindrical tube 201 can be made of silicone, and the support rod 101 can be made of polypropylene. The outer insertion tube 20 is inserted into the anus for enema. The outer insertion tube 20 is in contact with the anus. Because the cylindrical tube 201 is made of soft silicone, the patient will not feel pain when the outer insertion tube 20 is inserted into the anus. Conversely, if the outer insertion tube 20 were made of a material with a certain strength, the patient might feel pain due to its strength when the outer insertion tube 20 is inserted into the anus. Therefore, the cylindrical tube 201 is made of silicone.

[0035] However, because the cylindrical tube 201 is made of a relatively low-strength material, it is prone to bending when inserted into the anus, which may make it difficult for the outer insertion tube 20 to be inserted smoothly. Therefore, a support rod 101 inserted into the cylindrical tube 201 can be used to enhance the strength required for insertion into the anus. That is, the support rod 101 is made of a material with a strength higher than that of the cylindrical tube 201. As a result, when the outer insertion tube 20 is inserted into the anus for an enema, the cylindrical tube 201 enhances the strength of the outer insertion tube 20 and supports it to prevent bending, thus enabling smooth insertion of the outer insertion tube 20 into the anus.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the inner insertion tube 10 also includes a mounting plate 103, a side portion 105, and a plurality of gripping posts 107. A support rod 101 is connected to and mounted on the mounting plate 103. Therefore, the support rod 101 can be stably supported by the mounting plate 103. The mounting plate 103 is circular in shape and located in the xy plane.

[0037] The side portion 105 is spaced apart from the support rod 101 in the xy-plane direction. The side portion 105 is wall-shaped around the circumference of the mounting plate 103. The side portion 105 has a first guide hole 1051 and a second guide hole 1053. The first guide hole 1051 is formed opening in one direction (i.e., along the z-axis direction). The second guide hole 1053 is connected to the first guide hole 1051. The second guide hole 1053 is formed in a direction orthogonal to the first guide hole 1051 (i.e., along the x-axis).

[0038] Figure 1 The protrusion 2131 moves sequentially along the first guide hole 1051 and the second guide hole 1053 in the direction indicated by the dashed line, and is fixed to the end of the second guide hole 1053. That is, by rotating the inner insert tube 10 inserted into the outer insert tube 20, the protrusion 2131 can be moved to the end of the second guide hole 1053. In the second guide hole 1053, a protrusion 1055 is provided protruding in the -z axis direction. Therefore, the protrusion 2131 is inserted into the inside of the protrusion 1055 and is stably fixed by the protrusion 1055. As a result, the inner insert tube 10 is stably connected to the inside of the outer insert tube 20. Therefore, since the support rod 101 stably supports the cylindrical tube 201 made of soft material, the enema device 100 can be easily inserted into the anus.

[0039] Multiple grip posts 107 are spaced equidistant from each other and protrude from the outer side portion 105. Therefore, the user of the enema device 100 can easily attach the inner insertion tube 10 to the outer insertion tube 20 by gripping the multiple grip posts 107 and rotating the side portion 105. On the other hand, to avoid interference, a first guide hole 1051 and a second guide hole 1053 are located between the multiple grip posts 107.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the outer insertion tube 20 also includes an airbag 205, a plate-like component 207, and a check valve housing 209. Figure 2 (As shown in the diagram), guide ring 211 and fastening member 213. In addition, the outer insertion tube 20 may also include other components.

[0041] An air bladder 205 surrounds the middle side of the cylindrical tube 201. The air bladder 205 inflates with injected air to secure the outer insertion tube 20 to the anus. As a result, the outer insertion tube 20 can be stably positioned at the anal muscles. For this purpose, the air bladder 205 can be ring-shaped. A needle 60 is inserted between the air bladder 205 and the cylindrical tube 201. The needle 60 communicates with the air injection tube 50.

[0042] An air injection port 501 is attached to one end of the air injection tube 50, and the other end is connected to a needle body 60. Although in Figure 1 Although not shown, the air injection port 501 is connected to a syringe, through which air can be injected into the air bladder 205 via the air injection tube 50 and the needle body 60. The diameter d50 of the air injection tube 50 is larger than the diameter d60 of the needle body 60. That is, since a large amount of air flows into the air injection tube 50 through the syringe, a capacity to hold that air is required. Therefore, the diameter d50 of the air injection tube 50 is made larger. On the other hand, the needle body 60 needs to be inserted between the air bladder 205 and the cylindrical tube 201, so its diameter d60 is made smaller considering the space.

[0043] On the other hand, the plate-shaped member 207 is connected to one end of the cylindrical tube 201. As the diameter of the cylindrical tube 201 gradually increases, the cylindrical tube 201 naturally connects to the plate-shaped member 207. The diameter d207 of the plate-shaped member 207 is larger than the diameter d201 of the cylindrical tube 201. Because the diameter d207 of the plate-shaped member 207 is larger than the diameter d201 of the cylindrical tube 201, the plate-shaped member 207 can stably support the cylindrical tube 201.

[0044] Fastening component 213 covers check valve housing 209 ( Figure 2(As shown in the diagram) and guide ring 211, with a through-type structure at its center. A protrusion 2131 is formed on the side of the fastening member 213. The protrusion 2131 is inserted into the first guide hole 1051 along the direction of the dashed arrow, thereby allowing the inner insertion tube 10 and the outer insertion tube 20 to be stably connected. For this purpose, the inner diameter d105 of the side portion 105 is slightly larger than the outer diameter d213 of the fastening member 213. For example, the difference between the inner diameter d105 and the outer diameter d213 is greater than 0 and less than 0.2 mm. Because a fine pore is formed as described above, the fastening member 213 can be stably inserted and fixed within the side portion 105. The following describes... Figure 2 A more detailed description of the outer insertion tube 20 is provided.

[0045] Figure 2 schematically shown Figure 1 The enema device 100 includes a disassembled structure of the outer insertion tube 20. Figure 2 The enlarged view shows the front structure of the check valve 203 as viewed from the -z axis direction. Figure 2 The disassembled structure of the outer insertion tube 20 is for illustrative purposes only, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Therefore, it is possible to... Figure 2 The structure of the outer insertion tube 20 is modified in different ways.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, the outer insertion tube 20 includes a cylindrical tube 201, a check valve 203, an air bladder 205, a plate-like member 207, a check valve housing 209, a guide ring 211, and a fastening member 213. Furthermore, the outer insertion tube 20 may also include other components.

[0047] The check valve 203 can be made of thin silicone. Therefore, the check valve 203 can prevent the flow of bodily contents such as feces or enema fluid in the -z axis direction. The check valve 203 is located inside the outer insertion tube 20. More specifically, the check valve 203 is located within the check valve housing 209.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown in the enlarged view, the check valve 203 includes a plurality of check valve discs 2031 adjacent to each other. Each check valve disc 2031 is formed independently, and thus they are adjacent to each other to form a cross-shaped opening and closing groove G. However, the cross-shaped opening and closing groove G is merely a minimum space for flow in a state that minimizes contact between each of the plurality of check valve discs 2031 and the others. Therefore, the cross-shaped opening and closing groove G is too narrow for fluids with a certain viscosity to flow through. Therefore, the check valve 203 can prevent the contents of the body or enema fluid from leaking in the -z-axis direction. Even when operating as described above, since each of the plurality of check valve discs 2031 is formed independently, enema fluid can be injected into the body through the check valve 203 using a syringe.

[0049] Furthermore, the check valve 203 has a concave shape in the -z-axis direction, meaning that each of the plurality of check valve plates 2031 forms a cavity. Therefore, since the check valve 203 can have a shape that blocks fluid flowing in the -z-axis direction, it can block the passage of fluid.

[0050] The plate-shaped member 207 has a through hole 2071. The through hole 2071 is formed to contact the outer surface of the check valve housing 209. That is, since the through hole 2071 is not easily exposed to the outside, but is provided to contact the outer surface of the check valve housing 209, the air injection pipe 50 ( Figure 1 (As shown in the image) It will not be damaged by external impacts, thus ensuring durability.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, the check valve housing 209 is located on the opposite side of the cylindrical tube 201, with the plate-shaped member 207 in between. The check valve housing 209 is used to house the check valve 203. The diameter d209 of the check valve housing 209 is larger than the diameter d201 of the cylindrical tube 201, but smaller than the diameter d207 of the plate-shaped member 207. Figure 1 (As shown in the figure). Therefore, the check valve housing 209 can be stably housed below the plate member 207.

[0052] A guide ring 211 is attached to the lower part of the check valve housing 209. The guide ring 211 includes a guide side portion 2111 and a support plate 2113. The guide side portion 2111 is formed above the support plate 2113. The guide side portion 2111 is hollow C1 that gradually decreases in diameter d2111 toward the check valve 203. Referring hereafter... Figure 3 To explain in more detail Figure 2 The structure of check valve 203.

[0053] Figure 3 Enlarged schematic diagram Figure 2 The check valve 203. Figure 3 The structure of the check valve 203 is merely illustrative of this invention, and the invention is not limited thereto. Therefore, it is possible to... Figure 3 The structure of the check valve 203 is modified in different ways. Although Figure 3 Check valve 203 is shown as located at Figure 1 The outer side of the tube 20 is inserted into the enema, but unlike this, it can be included in an enema device and disposed within a hollow tube (not shown) that extends in one direction. The tube can communicate with the anus.

[0054] like Figure 3As shown, each of the plurality of check valve plates 2031 includes a first inclined surface 2031a and a second inclined surface 2031b. The first inclined surface 2031a and the second inclined surface 2031b are symmetrical to each other and open along the +z axis direction. Therefore, the first inclined surface 2031a and the second inclined surface 2031b have a shape that blocks the flow of fluid that can flow backward along the -z axis direction.

[0055] One end 2031c of the first inclined surface 2031a and one end 2031d of the second inclined surface 2031b are both straight. Therefore, the multiple ends 2031c and 2031d of the multiple check valve plates 2031 contact each other to form a cross-shaped opening and closing groove G. On the other hand, the other ends 2031e of the first inclined surface 2031a and 2031f of the second inclined surface 2031b are both curved. The multiple other ends 2031e and 2031f correspond to the circumference inside the cylindrical tube 201. That is, the multiple other ends 2031e and 2031f are fixed relative to the inner wall of the cylindrical tube 201. As a result, the first inclined surface 2031a and the second inclined surface 2031b form a recessed cavity space S along the circumference towards the cylindrical tube 201.

[0056] That is, such as Figure 3 As shown, along the +z axis direction (i.e., towards the cylindrical tube 201) Figure 2 The diagram shows the formation of a sac-like space S. In an emergency, this space serves as a container for enema fluid leaking from the anus or other bodily contents. Consequently, a check valve 203 can be used to prevent leakage of these fluids. The structure of the check valve 203 is described in more detail below.

[0057] The check valve 203 also includes a check valve support plate 2033 and a side panel 2035. The check valve support plate 2033 is hollow. The check valve support plate 2033 is attached to the check valve housing 209. Figure 2 (As shown in the diagram) to form a support structure below. Side 2035 is connected to check valve support plate 2033. The diameter of side 2035 can be along the +x axis direction (i.e., the closer to the cylindrical tube 201, the larger the diameter). Figure 2 (As shown in the diagram) gradually decreases in size, thus forming a hollow C2. Side 2035 is integrally formed around the inner circumference of the check valve housing 209. Multiple check valve plates 2031 are formed on side 2035 and are adjacent to each other. The multiple check valve plates 2031 can be integrally formed with side 2035. That is, side 2035 can also be made of thin silicone, similar to the multiple check valve plates 2031.

[0058] Figure 4 schematically shown Figure 1 The enema device 100 includes an outlet pipe 30 and a storage tank 40. Figure 4The discharge pipe 30 and storage tank 40 are merely illustrative of this invention, and the invention is not limited thereto. Therefore, different modifications can be made to the discharge pipe 30 and storage tank 40. Because... Figure 4 The discharge pipe 30 includes a mounting plate 103, a side portion 105, and multiple gripping posts 107. Figure 1 The inner insertion tube 10 includes the same mounting plate 103, side portion 105, and multiple gripping posts 107, therefore the same reference numerals are used, and detailed descriptions are omitted for convenience. As described above, since the inner insertion tube 10 and the discharge tube 30 use the same components, not only can the manufacturing cost of the enema device 100 be reduced, but also the enema device 100 ( Figure 1 (As shown in the figure) It is compatible with the outer insertion tube 20 during operation and can be disassembled and assembled.

[0059] like Figure 4 As shown, the discharge pipe 30 extends in an elongated shape along one direction (i.e., along the z-axis). The discharge pipe 30 includes a flexible discharge portion 301, a fastening cap 303, a mounting plate 103, a side portion 105, and a plurality of gripping posts 107. Furthermore, the discharge pipe 30 may also include other components. For example, although... Figure 4 It is not shown in the figure, but the furniture can be integrated into the middle of the flexible discharge section 301, and the flow of fluid through it can be restricted by pressing the flexible discharge section 301.

[0060] The discharge tube 30 can be connected to the outer insertion tube 20 through the side portion 105. Figure 1 (As shown in the diagram) can be disassembled and assembled. That is, using the side portion 105, it can be connected to the inner insertion tube 10 (including the side portion 105). Figure 1 (shown in the image) is the same as the outer insertion tube 20 ( Figure 1 (As shown in the diagram) is disassembled and assembled. As a result, the flexible discharge section 301 and the cylindrical tube 201 ( Figure 1 (as shown in the diagram) is connected. Therefore, the cylindrical tube 201 ( Figure 1 (As shown in the figure) Body contents (e.g., feces) discharged from the anus are continuously discharged through the flexible discharge section 301.

[0061] Fastening component 213 is installed in mounting plate 103. Figure 1 (As shown in the diagram) to stably support the connection between the outer insertion tube 20 and the discharge tube 30. A mounting plate 103 is attached to one side of the flexible discharge section 301, and a fastening cap 303 is attached to the other side of the flexible discharge section 301. A side portion 105 is spaced apart from the flexible discharge section 301. A thread 3031 is formed on the inner surface of the fastening cap 303. The discharge tube 30 can be securely connected to the storage tank 40 using the thread 3031. That is, the storage tank 40 can be detached from the discharge tube 30 along the direction of the dotted arrow.

[0062] like Figure 4As shown, the storage tank 40 includes a plastic bag 401, an inlet 403, and a cap 405. In addition, the storage tank 40 may also include other components.

[0063] like Figure 4 As shown, the injection port 403 has a thread 4031 corresponding to the thread 3031 formed on the inner side of the fastening cap 303. Since the multiple threads 3031 and 4031 are formed and engaged with each other in the manner of internal or external threads, the injection port 403 and the fastening cap 303 are firmly joined together, thereby preventing leakage of the contents. The cap 405 can be detached from the injection port 403. That is, the injection port 403 is closed with the cap 405 when the plastic bag 401 connected to the injection port 403 is not used. Furthermore, when the storage tank 40 is connected to the discharge pipe 30 to hold the contents discharged after the enema, the cap 405 is opened and the injection port 403 is fastened to the fastening cap 303. As a result, the contents discharged through the external insertion tube 20 after the enema can be collected leak-free in the plastic bag 401 through the discharge pipe 30, and then the injection port 403 is separated from the fastening cap 303, and the cap 405 is closed and the bag is discarded directly. The following will refer to Figures 5 to 12 Detailed description of the enema device 100 ( Figure 1 The operation method is shown in the figure.

[0064] Figure 5 schematically shown Figure 1 A diagram showing the operating sequence of the enema device 100. Figure 5 The operation method of the enema device 100 is only for illustrative purposes and is not limited to this invention. Therefore, it can be applied to... Figure 5 The operation method of the enema device 100 is modified in different ways.

[0065] on the other hand, Figures 6 to 12 Each is shown schematically Figure 5 The operation process of the enema device in each step. Figures 6 to 12 The operational procedures of the enema device described herein are merely illustrative and the invention is not limited thereto. Therefore, different modifications can be made to the operational procedures of the enema device. The following will refer to... Figure 5 The corresponding steps Figures 6 to 12 This section details the operation of the enema device 100.

[0066] like Figure 5As shown, the operation method of the enema device 100 includes: step S10, inserting the inner insertion tube into the outer insertion tube, rotating the side face to allow the protrusion to be sequentially introduced and moved into the first guide hole and the second guide hole, thereby fixing the protrusion through the protrusion; step S20, injecting air into the air bladder to inflate the air bladder; step S30, removing the inner insertion tube from the outer insertion tube; step S40, after inserting the syringe through the check valve and injecting enema fluid, removing the syringe; step S50, connecting the flexible discharge part to the cylindrical tube; step S60, separating the cap from the injection port, rotating the injection port and connecting it to the inside of the fastening cap; step S70, separating the injection port from the fastening cap and closing the fastening cap with the cap; and step S80, expelling air from the air bladder and removing the outer insertion tube. Furthermore, the operation method of the enema device may also include other steps.

[0067] First of all, Figure 5 In step S10, the inner insertion tube 10 is inserted into the outer insertion tube 20, and the side part 105 is rotated so that the protrusion 2131 is sequentially introduced and moved into the first guide hole 1051 and the second guide hole 1053 along the direction of the dotted arrow, and then fixed by the protrusion 1055. Figure 1 As shown in the diagram, the inner insertion tube 10 and the outer insertion tube 20 are firmly and integrally connected to each other. Furthermore, for enema administration, the inner insertion tube 10 and the outer insertion tube 20 are inserted into the anus. Since the outer insertion tube 20 includes a cylindrical tube 201 made of silicone, the patient does not experience significant pain even when the outer insertion tube 20 is inserted into the anus and the anus comes into contact with the outer insertion tube 20. On the other hand, since the support rod 101 made of polypropylene included in the inner insertion tube 10 supports the cylindrical tube 201, the cylindrical tube 201 made of silicone will not bend or deform, thus allowing for easy insertion into the anus.

[0068] Refer to Figure 5 In step S20, air is injected into the airbag 205 to inflate it. Figure 6 (As shown) The balloon 205 is positioned directly inside the anus in its uninflated state. A syringe (not shown) is connected to the air injection port 501, and the piston (not shown) is pressed, injecting air into the balloon 205 through the air injection tube 50 and the needle body 60, causing the balloon 205 to inflate. As a result, the balloon 205 inflates into a ring shape, allowing the outer insertion tube 20 to be stably positioned against the anal muscles.

[0069] exist Figure 5 In step S30, as shown by the dashed arrow, the inner insertion tube 10 is removed from the outer insertion tube 20. Figure 7 (As shown in the diagram) That is, by removing the inner insertion tube 10, space is ensured for injecting enema fluid. The balloon 205 inflates to stably position the outer insertion tube 20 in the anus.

[0070] exist Figure 5 In step S40, syringe Y is inserted through a through-feed check valve to insert enema solution L into the anus. Figure 8 (As shown in the diagram) Then, remove syringe Y. Syringe Y can also be the syringe used in step S20. Since check valve 203 (not shown, the same applies below) has a shape that protrudes towards the anus, syringe Y can easily pass through check valve 203. In addition, the enema fluid injected into the anus through the outer insertion tube 20 will not leak to the outside due to check valve 203.

[0071] Refer again Figure 5 In step S50, the flexible discharge section 301 is combined with the outer insertion tube 20. Figure 9 (As shown in the diagram) Therefore, preparations are made for the discharge of the contents produced by the enema through the flexible discharge section 301. The method of attaching the flexible discharge section 301 to the outer insertion tube 20 is the same as the attachment method in step S10.

[0072] exist Figure 5 In step S60, the cap 405 is separated from the injection port 403, the injection port 403 is rotated and engaged with the inside of the fastening cap 303. Figure 10 (As shown in the diagram) The fastening cap 303 can also be rotated to engage with the injection port 403. As a result, the flexible discharge portion 301 is securely connected to the injection port 403 without leakage. Since the flexible discharge portion 301 is in the open state before engaging the injection port 403, a clamp (not shown) can be placed in the middle of the flexible discharge portion 301 and pressed to prevent the contents of the body from leaking to the outside through the anus. After taking the above measures, the injection port 403 is engaged with the fastening cap 303. The clamp is then removed, and the contents of the body discharged through the flexible discharge portion 301 can be placed into the plastic bag 401.

[0073] Refer again Figure 5 In step S70, the injection port 403 is separated from the fastening cap 303, and the fastening cap 303 is closed by the cap 405. Figure 11 (As indicated by the middle arrow) Since all the contents expelled through the enema are placed in the plastic bag 401, the cap 405 is closed and the storage tank 40 is discarded.

[0074] Finally, in step S80, air is expelled from the airbag, and the external insertion tube 20 is removed from the anus. Figure 12As shown in the diagram, a syringe (not shown) is connected to the air injection tube 50, through which air is removed from the airbag 205. As a result, the outer insertion tube 20 and the flexible discharge portion 301 connected to it are pulled in the direction of the arrow, thus achieving complete removal. Alternatively, the flexible discharge portion 301 can be removed first, followed by the outer insertion tube 20. However, since the outer insertion tube 20 is made of a soft material and is relatively short, to make it easier to remove from the anus, it is preferable to pull the long, thin flexible discharge portion 301, which is firmly attached to the outer insertion tube 20, to remove the outer insertion tube 20 from the anus as well.

[0075] Through the aforementioned process, enemas can be easily performed. Furthermore, since the enema device according to an embodiment of this invention is manufactured to cover all aspects of the enema process, it is very convenient to use.

[0076] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Various modifications and improvements made by those skilled in the art using the basic concept of the present invention also fall within the scope of the present invention.
