AI Technical Summary

⚠Technical Problem

Existing enema administering apparatuses suffer from drug wastage due to incomplete delivery, lack of flow regulation, rigid and sharp catheter tubes causing discomfort, and manufacturing issues such as pin holes and uneven thickness in pouches.

⚗Method used

The apparatus features a flow regulator valve, a pressure applicator, a soft siliconized PVC catheter tube with rounded edges, and a multi-layered pouch manufacturing process involving calendaring, embossing, and lamination to prevent friction and ensure complete drug delivery without leakage.

🎯Benefits of technology

Ensures complete drug delivery, reduces patient discomfort, and improves manufacturing integrity by preventing pin holes and uneven thickness, while allowing for controlled flow and tamper-proof sealing.

Abstract

The present invention relates to an enema administering apparatus (100) which includes a pouch (110) having an opening (120) and adapted to store a drug (150). A catheter tube (130) in fluid communication with the pouch (110) through the opening (120). A flow regulator valve (140) disposed on the catheter tube (130) and adapted to regulate flow of the drug (150) through the catheter tube (130). A pressure applicator (160) disposed at an end distal to the opening (120) for applying pressure on the pouch (110) to gradually propagate the drug (150) through the opening (120). By having the apparatus (100) as disclosed herein, the drug (150) stored in the pouch (110) emptied out during administration of enema to the patient, and there is no wastage of the drug (150) as experienced in the prior art.
