    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Devices

    Background:

    • Rectal perforation is a known risk during barium enema examinations.
    • This complication can result from direct trauma during enema tip insertion.
    • Undesirable mechanical properties of existing balloon catheters contribute to the risk.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel enema tip designed to enhance patient safety.
    • To mitigate the risk of rectal perforation during barium enema procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Description of a newly designed enema tip.
    • Focus on mechanical properties and insertion characteristics.

    Main Results:

    • The new design aims to reduce the likelihood of direct trauma.
  • The improved mechanical properties are intended to prevent catheter-related injuries.

    • Conclusions:

    • The newly designed enema tip offers a potentially safer alternative for barium enema examinations.
    • This innovation may help reduce the incidence of rectal perforation.
