An irrigation system is disclosed that can be uses in, for example, rectal irrigation. The system comprises a reservoir for an irrigating liquid and a probe for arrangement in a user. The probe includes an inflatable balloon for fixing the catheter in a body cavity. A first pump is provided to pump irrigation liquid from the reservoir to the probe, and a second pump is provided to pump a fluid to the balloon for inflation. A control unit controls the transfer of the irrigation liquid and the fluid, and includes a valve for releasing fluid from the balloon for deflation. Tubing provides fluid communication between the reservoir, control unit and probe. The control unit and the first and second pumps are further arranged as an integrated unitary component, and the manually operable balloon control element is arranged in the vicinity of the second pump.

Irrigation system comprising dual pumps

Rectal catheter

A coupling device for a tubular arrangement for medical use including a first connector part and a second connector part and, an engagement/disengagement member for at least assisting in engaging and disengaging the engagement between said connector parts, wherein the first connector part includes at least two female connecting portions arranged in a first connector surface and a guiding edge protruding from the first connector surface arranged around the at least two female connecting portions and the second connector part includes at least two male connecting portions arranged in a second connector surface, and wherein at least one of the first connector part and the second connector part includes a locking element arranged to rotatably engage with the engagement/disengagement member.

Catheter coupling arrangement

A portable irrigation system comprising a reservoir for an irrigating liquid, a probe for arrangement in a user, an electrical system, a control unit for controlling the transfer of irrigation liquid and tubing providing fluid communication between said reservoir, control unit and probe.

Motorized irrigation system

An irrigation system comprising a reservoir for an irrigating liquid and a probe for arrangement in a user, wherein said probe comprises an inflatable balloon for fixing the catheter in a body cavity.

An irrigation system, useable e.g. for rectal/anal irrigation, comprising a reservoir for irrigating liquid; a probe (such as a catheter) for arrangement in a user, and having an inflatable retention member (such as a balloon); and tubing providing fluid communication between the reservoir, the control unit and the probe for conducting the irrigation fluid from the reservoir to the probe.

An apparatus comprising a conduit clamping device with a closing mechanism for closing and opening passage of fluid or air in a flexible conduit is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a movable arm or disk that is connected to a manipulation arm or a knob; a conduit in form of a tube, that is laid flat against an abutment or protrusion; and a guide structure that constrains the movable arm or disk between the guide structure and the tube and being designed such that movement of the arm or disk will control the compression of the tube.
