Patent ID: 8079988

Claim:
An enema device for use with a source of enema fluid having an elongated nozzle, the enema device comprising: (a) a hollow elongated rigid body having curved unibody construction and having first and second ends and an interior extending between the first and second ends; (b) a feed portion formed at the first end of the hollow elongated body that defines a feed portion opening, the feed portion further including a hollow nozzle receiving portion extending from the feed portion opening to a tube opening and in fluid communication with both the feed portion opening and the interior of the hollow elongated body, the hollow nozzle receiving portion sized and configured to longitudinally slidably receive an elongated nozzle of a source of enema fluid, wherein when the elongated nozzle is longitudinally slidably received within the hollow nozzle receiving portion, the elongated nozzle is in fluid communication with the interior of the hollow elongated body, and wherein the interior of the hollow nozzle receiving portion is tapered, decreasing in cross-sectional area as it extends from the proximal end of the feed portion opening towards the tube opening and the interior of the hollow elongated body, and wherein the tapered hollow nozzle receiving portion is configured to form a fluid-tight seal between the hollow nozzle receiving portion and the received elongated nozzle of the source of enema fluid; (c) a discharge portion disposed at the second end of the elongated body, the discharge portion defining a discharge opening in communication with the interior of the hollow elongated body; and (d) a tube extending from the nozzle receiving portion, through the interior of the hollow elongated body, to the discharge portion, wherein the tube is supported and immobilized by a first annular protrusion formed on the interior of the hollow elongated body.
