ABSTRACT:
A colo-rectal evacuator is disclosed for mechanically removing waste material through a patient's rectum. The evacuator includes a rectal tube with a distal nozzle end that is designed to be inserted into the patient's anal canal; an adjacent inflatable bladder that is adapted to abut feces inside the canal and remove them when the tube is pulled by a trained professional; a lower balloon that is adapted to burst and provide lubrication to ease the removal; and a collecting bag that surrounds the tube and immediately stores the feces upon their removal.
After the distal end is inserted into the patient, the bladder is inflated with air and the balloon is pumped up with lubricant. Continued inflation of the balloon causes it to burst and the lubricant to spread among the trapped feces. When the tube is subsequently pulled, the bottom of the bladder pushes the feces out of the patient's rectum.
