    Area of Science:

    • Medical Devices
    • Gastroenterology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Double-contrast colon examinations require viscous barium suspensions.
    • Traditional enema systems can be slow and cause patient discomfort.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel disposable plastic enema system designed for improved barium administration.
    • To enhance patient comfort and procedural efficiency in colon examinations.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a 127-mm (1/2-inch) bore disposable plastic enema system.
    • Utilizing the system for administration of viscous barium suspensions.

    Main Results:

    • The larger internal diameter facilitates simple and rapid instillation and drainage of barium.
