Peristeen® Plus Transanal Irrigation System (Accessory Unit)

Predictable Bowel Management for Independence

The Peristeen® Plus Transanal Irrigation (TAI) system is a clinically proven solution designed for individuals living with neurogenic bowel dysfunction (NBD). By using water to empty the lower bowel, this system helps users regain control, reducing the risk of fecal incontinence and chronic constipation.

Why Choose Peristeen® Plus?

• Empowering Autonomy: Choose the time and place for bowel emptying, fitting treatment into your schedule rather than letting your condition dictate your day.
• Clinically Effective: Regular use—daily or every other day—significantly reduces time spent on bowel management compared to conservative methods.
• Versatile Design: The ergonomic control unit is designed for users with limited hand dexterity, making it suitable for self-administration or assisted use.

How to Use & Best Practices

Before starting Peristeen Plus, a thorough examination and training by a healthcare professional are required. Follow these safety steps:

1. Check Water Temperature: Use lukewarm water (93-104°F). Test the water by running it over your wrist; it should feel lukewarm, not hot.
2. Fill the Bag: Fill the water bag to the required amount as directed by your clinician.
3. Prime the System: Use the control unit to pump water through the tubes to remove air before insertion.
