Irrigation systems are cost effective when managed well and assessed by a continence advisor. It does stop hospital admissions and district nurses time.

If this option is to be considered for a patient, please refer the patient to either the Bladder and Bowel Service or Secondary Care for a specialist assessment prior to prescribing any equipment so that the patient is well informed about the procedure.

If the patient is suitable for anal irrigation they will need to be taught the procedure which will normally be done in the community by the Bladder and Bowel Service. Patients usually need support/advice from the Bladder and Bowel Service when they initially use the system.

Please note: Catheters are single use only. Water bag can only be used 15 times. Lid and control unit can only be used 90 times. When initiated, patients may require rectal wash out daily but once established this should be reduced to alternate days.
