Peristeen Plus Transanal Irrigation

Peristeen Plus bowel irrigation system is the recommended treatment when bowel medication such as laxatives and enemas have failed or is insufficient. This irrigation system minimises the likelihood of involuntary bowel leakage and/or constipation. Peristeen Plus can reduce the severity of constipation and incontinence, improve quality of life and promote dignity and independence, without costing more than standard bowel care.

What is NICE?

NICE is the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence and provides national guidance and advice to improve health and social care - www.nice.org.uk

The NICE Medical Technology Guidance¹ states that:

Peristeen Plus can provide important clinical benefits in most people with bowel dysfunction, including improving quality of life and promoting independence.

Peristeen Plus is suitable for: Adult patients, paediatric patients, neurogenic and functional patients

Peristeen Plus is a cost-effective treatment for people with bowel dysfunction; likely to provide additional clinical benefits without costing more than standard bowel care^2.

Patients may take several weeks to feel comfortable with using Peristeen Plus; the device is most effective when offered with specialist training and structured patient support.

This Guidance is based on robust clinical and economic evidence specific to Peristeen only; it is not a multiple technology assessment.
