Acofar Irrigation Bulb with No. 12 Cannula

- Rapid relief of occasional constipation through irrigation evacuation.

- Phthalate and cadmium free material that reduces the risk of migration of toxic compounds.

- High elasticity and resistance rubber that allows reuse with proper care.

- Compatible with conventional sterilization methods (controlled boiling, gas, gamma radiation) as indicated.

- Design with cannula No. 12 that facilitates insertion and flow of the solution.

- Multipurpose use: intimate hygiene and preparation prior to procedures that require rectal cleaning.

- Mechanical cleaning that reduces the local bacterial load in the rectal lumen; not to be confused with systemic disinfection.

What is this device used for?

It is used to perform rectal washes and enemas intended for bowel evacuation and local intimate hygiene by administering a solution under pressure.

Is it reusable?

Yes; it is designed to be reused if it is properly cleaned and disinfected after each use, following the recommended temperature and compatible methods.

What microorganisms does it eliminate or reduce?

The action is mechanical: it eliminates fecal matter and reduces the local microbial load, primarily bacteria present in the rectum. It is not indicated for the specific elimination of viruses or for complete sterilization of tissue.

How is it sterilized?

It can withstand controlled boiling, gas, and gamma radiation according to the manufacturer's technical data sheet. Avoid non-recommended home methods and temperatures exceeding those indicated to prevent deformation.

Which solution should be used?

Isotonic saline solutions or clean warm water may be used; in specific medical cases, use the solution prescribed by a healthcare professional. Avoid caustic or highly osmotic solutions unless indicated.

Can it be used for hemorrhoids or anal lesions?

In cases of active hemorrhoids, fissures, or bleeding, the use should be assessed by a healthcare professional before application.

How often can it be used?

There is no universal frequency; occasional use for immediate relief is common. Repeated or frequent use requires professional supervision to avoid disruptions to the gut flora and electrolyte balance.

1. Fill the bulb with the prescribed or chosen solution for washing.

2. Lubricate the tip of the cannula with a lubricant compatible with mucous membranes (petroleum jelly or hydrophilic gel).

3. Gently insert the cannula into the anal canal in a comfortable and secure position.

4. Squeeze the rubber body in a controlled manner to release the liquid and allow irrigation.

5. Remove the cannula and proceed with the natural evacuation of the contents.

6. Wash the container and cannula with warm water and neutral detergent; apply the recommended disinfection method.

- Do not expose to temperatures exceeding 30–100 ºC depending on the material's tolerance; excessive heat may deform the rubber.

- Avoid sterilization methods not recommended by the manufacturer.

- Do not use corrosive solutions, aggressive detergents or substances not indicated for mucous membranes.

- Avoid forced insertion of the cannula; lubrication reduces the risk of mucosal injury.

- Do not use in the presence of severe rectal pain, active bleeding, or anal lesions without the approval of a healthcare professional.

- Clean before and after each use; store in a dry place and protected from heat sources.

- Frequent and repeated use may alter the local flora and electrolyte balance; consider medical alternatives if continued use is required.

- It should not be considered a method of viral disinfection; it does not replace infection control measures when these are necessary.

- Consult a professional if you have any doubts about the technique, the solution to use, or the frequency of use.
