Faecal incontinence kit

A faecal incontinence kit is a collection of medical devices designed to manage uncontrolled bowel movements by diverting liquid or semi-liquid stool from the rectum into a collection bag. It is used for patients who cannot control faecal discharge, such as those in intensive care, acute care settings, or individuals with certain disabilities, to maintain hygiene and prevent skin breakdown.

The kit typically includes a rectal catheter with an inflatable balloon, a disposable collection bag, a syringe for inflation and irrigation, and necessary connectors. As a single-use device, it is intended for one-time application and disposal after use, and is supplied as a sterile, pre-assembled system for clinical use.
