Abstract
There is provided a disposable enema syringe for self-application and/or one hand use wherein the syringe is of the type having a barrel with a transversely extending flange at least partially disposed about the open end thereof, a movable piston disposed within the bore of the barrel and a plunger having one end connected to the piston and the other end extending out of the bore and terminating in a digit receiving pressure pad. The pressure pad is at a distance from the flange such that the syringe may be controllably grasped by one hand between the thumb and a finger around the barrel and next to the flange and the index or second finger on the pressure pad. The syringe has a soft and flexible cannula which is sufficiently long that it may be inserted into the rectum and past the sphincter muscles and sufficiently short that it may be inserted into the rectum with only one hand. Thus, the cannula may be inserted into the rectum and the enema fluid injected from the syringe into the rectum with the use of only one hand.
