Reliable drug alternative relief from constipation

If you experience bowel issues, such as chronic constipation and/or faecal incontinence, you’re not alone. Bowel issues are more common than you may think and it’s estimated that around 6.5 million people in the UK have some form of bowel problem - that’s 1 in 10 of us.¹ There is an alternative option to help manage your bowels: our low volume transanal irrigation system, Peristeen® Light.

An easy-to-use, tap water-based system with minimal side-effects

Designed to provide effective relief from bowel issues so you can go about your day without worry

Discreet and convenient for use at home or on the go

Can be used instead of or alongside any medication you are taking to manage your symptoms*

What is Transanal Irrigation?

If you are managing your bowel symptoms with conservative methods like laxatives or lifestyle changes but are seeing minimal or no improvement, you may be able to try low-volume Transanal Irrigation (TAI) to relieve your symptoms.

This is when a small volume of lukewarm water (up to 250ml) is introduced into the rectum to clear out stool. This technique is designed to be easy to use and enables you to clear the lower part of your bowel so you can go about your day without worry.

If you experience stool leakage or struggle to completely pass stool, using a low-volume TAI system regularly can help you achieve control over your bowel.²

How low-volume TAI works

The lubricated catheter is inserted via the anus

The water container is squeezed to instill water into the rectum either directly via the catheter or via an extension tube and catheter

The rectum fills with water

Water and stool are evacuated into the toilet

Introducing Peristeen Light

Peristeen Light is a low-volume TAI system, ideal for people who are seeing little success with their current bowel management and would like to try a different solution to help manage their symptoms.

Soft, flexible catheter for smooth insertion

Easy to open lid with one way valve to prevent stool entering the water container

Water container is designed to be easy to hold and squeeze

Provided with a 70cm long extension tube for more flexibility

"I just have that control back. I think that’s the biggest moment of joy."

Nynke | Living with bowel dysfunction

Peristeen Light can be used with or without the supplied extension tube, so you can see which way works better for you.
