    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Gastroenterology
    • Medical Device Innovation

    Background:

    • Rectal examinations in infants and children are crucial for diagnosis.
    • Current methods, such as Foley balloon catheters, pose risks like rectal distension, obscuration, and perforation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe modifications of disposable rubber enema tips for pediatric use.
    • To propose these modified tips as a safer alternative to Foley balloon catheters in pediatric rectal examinations.

    Main Methods:

    • Modification of standard disposable rubber enema tips.
    • Evaluation of the modified tips for suitability in infant and child rectal examinations.

    Main Results:

    • The modified enema tips are presented as a viable alternative to Foley balloon catheters.
    • These modifications aim to mitigate risks associated with traditional methods.

    Conclusions:

    • Modified disposable rubber enema tips provide a safer approach for rectal examinations in pediatric patients.
    • This innovation helps prevent complications such as rectal distension, obscuration, and perforation.
