    • Medical Devices

    Background:

    • Small-bowel enteroclysis requires precise administration of contrast agents.
    • High-viscosity barium can be challenging to deliver effectively.
    • Existing methods may lack efficiency or ease of use.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a simple modification to a standard caulking gun.
    • To adapt the caulking gun for the administration of high-viscosity barium.
    • To improve the delivery of contrast during small-bowel enteroclysis.

    Main Methods:

    • A standard caulking gun was modified for medical use.
    • The modified gun was utilized for barium administration.
    • The procedure focused on small-bowel enteroclysis.

    Main Results:

    • The modified caulking gun facilitated the administration of high-viscosity barium.
    • The modification proved to be a simple and effective solution.
    • The procedure was successfully performed using the adapted tool.

    Conclusions:

    • A modified caulking gun is a practical tool for delivering high-viscosity barium.
    • This simple modification enhances small-bowel enteroclysis procedures.
    • The adapted device offers a straightforward approach to contrast administration.
