Abstract
Description
A SELF ADMINISTERED ENEMA DEVICETECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates, in general, to the field of a minimal invasive enema device and more specifically, relates to a device designed for the administration of self-enemas procedures without the need for others assistance.BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present disclosure. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed disclosure, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Traditional methods of softening tool refer to conventional or commonly used approaches to alleviate constipation by making the stool softer. Traditional methods might include dietary changes, the use of certain medications, or other interventions to promote bowel regularity. Therefore, traditional methods may encompass a range of approaches, suggesting that there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Different techniques might be employed based on individual preferences, health conditions, or the severity of constipation.
[0004] Furthermore, certain traditional methods can cause discomfort or pain. This could include the use of certain laxatives, dietary adjustments, or other interventions that might be uncomfortable for individuals, and some of traditional method might also pose potential long-term risks. This could refer to the possibility of developing dependencies on certain medications, side effects from prolonged use, or other health concerns associated with traditional approaches to managing constipation.
[0005] Thus, an enema is a medical procedure designed to introduce a liquid solution into the rectum with the goal of relieving constipation. The primary purpose of an enema is to stimulate bowel movements and soften the stool, making it easier for the individual to pass. Constipation often leads to the hardening of stool, making it difficult and uncomfortable to excrete waste. The enema process helps in overcoming this issue by introducing a liquid solution that facilitates the softening and lubrication of the stool.
[0006] The current methods employed to address constipation, namely enema cans and stool softeners, exhibit several limitations that impact their effectiveness and user experience. Firstly, there is a notable lack of privacy associated with the methods, potentially requiring individuals to undergo the procedure in settings that compromise personal privacy.Moreover, both methods are reported to be messy, introducing inconvenience and discomfort during use.
[0007] In order to improve the privacy, functionality, and acceptability concerns with conventional enemas needs an effective device that will offer patients the ability to selfadminister enemas while sitting on their own toilet seats by fulfilling privacy concerns. Traditional enema procedures can be difficult and uncomfortable, especially for elderly or disabled individuals who may have mobility issues. And it is also a painful procedure due to the insertion of nozzle inside the rectum in case of the conventional enemas. The proposed enema device seat setup is built to overcome the problems faced during administrating the present enema.
[0008] Therefore, it is desired to overcome the drawbacks, shortcomings, and limitations associated with existing solutions, and develop a device for enema attached to a standard commode.OBJECTS OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE

The device 100 can integrate into the existing structure of a toilet, providing a convenient and accessible setup for enema administration. The design intends to ensure practicality and ease of use for patient utilizing the device 100 in a bathroom setting. The commode base 102 may be made from a single piece or unitary structure, as opposed to being assembled from multiple parts. FIGs. 1A and FIG. IB demonstrate how the unibody design may suggest increased durability, stability, and potentially simpler cleaning. In the case of a unibody enema seat, the patient may be required to move once the fluid from the enema has been administered and has passed inside the body. Subsequently, the patient needs to remove the enema seat 200 from the commode seat 104. After this step, the patient may be expected to pass stool.
[0051] In an exemplary embodiment, the device 100 may be configured to include a fluid container 106, the fluid container 106 specifically designed to be installed on a wallbehind the commode seat 104. The unibody Enema Seat (hereinafter, referred to as the commode seat 104) a type of an enema seat that may be configured to construct as a single unit, rather than being assembled from multiple parts. It may imply greater durability, stability, and possibly easier cleaning. The patient needs to do after the enema procedure is complete. After the fluid has been introduced into the patient’s colon using the commode seat 104, the patient must then move from the commode seat 104. They need to remove the device (presumably the enema seat) from the commode, which is a toilet fixture, and then pass stool.
[0052] Furthermore, the fluid container 106 can strategically positioned at a predefined height relative to the device 100, where the predefined height of the fluid container 106 may be 1 meter from the commode seat 104 of the device 100. Within the fluid container 106, there may be a fluid line 108 configured to facilitate the flow of fluid. The fluid line 108 can equipped with a stopper, allowing for control over the fluid flow. Significantly, the fluid line 108 may be configured to connect to the fluid container 106 at a first end of the fluid line 108, indicating the point of origin for the fluid within the device 100.
