Description

The Peristeen Anal Plug by Coloplast is a specialized medical device designed to provide discreet and effective management for individuals experiencing faecal incontinence or involuntary passing of air. This single-use, disposable plug acts as a reliable barrier in the rectum, helping to prevent uncontrolled loss of solid stool and flatus, thereby enhancing the user's confidence and comfort during daily activities.

Key Features

• Material and Design: Made from compressed foam with a water-soluble film, the plug is inserted into the anus similarly to a suppository. Upon insertion, the film dissolves due to rectal warmth and moisture, allowing the plug to expand and secure a comfortable fit.

• Ease of Use: Equipped with a soft gauze string, the plug is easy to remove. Its compact and discreet nature ensures it remains invisible when worn and can be conveniently carried in a pocket or handbag.

• Waterproof and Odour Resistant: Designed to prevent leakage and unpleasant odours, providing peace of mind throughout its use.

Size and Compatibility

Available in two sizes, small (37mm) and large (45mm), users are encouraged to try both to determine the best fit. The plug can be left in place for up to 12 hours and is compatible with the Peristeen Plus transanal irrigation system or Peristeen Irrigation System, offering comprehensive bowel management solutions.

Intended Use

Suitable for adults and pediatric users as assessed by a healthcare professional, the Peristeen Anal Plug is designed for those with light to ultra absorbency needs. It is particularly beneficial for managing bowel leakage between irrigations.

Important Considerations

• Contraindications: Not recommended for individuals with 3rd or 4th degree haemorrhoids, anal stenosis, or diarrhoea. It should not be used by children and must be kept out of reach.

• Usage Guidance: Professional healthcare assessment is advised before use. If discomfort or difficulty in removal occurs, users should discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

Disposal Instructions

After use, the plug should be disposed of in normal household waste and must not be flushed. It is important not to attempt washing, reusing, or sterilizing the plug.

The Peristeen Anal Plug offers a discreet, reliable solution for managing faecal incontinence, empowering users to maintain their daily routines with greater assurance and dignity.
