Area of Science:

  • Medical Devices
  • Radiology Procedures

Background:

  • Barium enema kits often feature two-part tips for optional cuff placement.
  • Difficulties arise during the assembly of these enema tips, specifically when attaching the cuff.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a simple, cost-effective solution for the challenges encountered during barium enema tip assembly.

Main Methods:

  • A readily available gadget, typically used in the farming sector, was adapted for enema tip assembly.
  • The gadget facilitates the secure and easy placement of the cuff onto the enema tip.

Main Results:

  • The farming gadget provides a practical and inexpensive method for overcoming assembly difficulties.
  • Successful and simplified cuff attachment to the barium enema tip was achieved.
