Use of a new transanal irrigation device for bowel disorder management by patients familiar with the irrigation technique: a prospective, interventional, multicenter pilot study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of transanal irrigation (TAI) with a new medical device incorporating an electric pump, the IryPump®R Set.

Methods

An interventional, prospective, open-label, non-comparative, multicenter pilot study on TAI was conducted at three French university hospitals.
