Enemeez plus mini enema with anesthetic (replacement for therevac plus)

It is a new mini enema that is a direct replacement for the discontinued Therevac Plus. Enemeez Plus penetrates and softens the stool, thereby promoting bowel movement. It is indicated for dyschezia, lesions of the anus that make defecation painful, impaction associated with megacolon, anal fissure, and postoperative analatresia. It has been employed successfully in bedridden patients and those patients with decreased mobility in a patient group from child to adult. Enemeez Plus Mini Enema has also been used with acute rehabilitation patients with such diagnoses as spinal cord injuries, cerebral vascular accidents, fractures, joint replacements, and closed head injuries. In bowel management programs Enemeez Plus helps establish a more predictable bowel routine along with reducing the likelihood of bowel accidents and incontinence. Enemeez Plus also contains Benzocaine to anesthetize the rectum and lower bowel; and is beneficial when an anesthetic is needed to prevent hyperreflexia crisis or painful bowel movement.
