Flexi-Seal™ FMS
This easy-to-use system provides an excellent alternative to traditional methods of managing fecal incontinence such as pads, diapers, fecal pouches, and rectal tubes.

The soft silicone catheter is inserted into the rectum to contain and divert fecal waste. There is a low-pressure retention balloon at one end and a connector for attaching the collection bag at the other end. Thanks to innovative technology, the minimal pressure used to inflate the balloon should minimize the risk of rectal tissue damage.

Two small tubes are attached to the silicone catheter. One tube, with "45 mL" printed on it, is used to inflate the retention balloon after the device has been inserted into the patient’s rectum. Another tube, with "IRRIG." printed on it, is used to flush the device if needed.
