Take back control with Peristeen® Light
Struggling with your bowels?
What is Transanal Irrigation?
If you are managing your bowel symptoms with conservative methods like laxatives or lifestyle changes but are seeing minimal or no improvement, you may be able to try low-volume Transanal Irrigation (TAI) to relieve your symptoms.
This is when a small volume of lukewarm water (up to 250ml) is introduced into the rectum to clear out stool. This technique is designed to be easy to use and enables you to clear the lower part of your bowel so you can go about your day without worry.
If you experience stool leakage or struggle to completely pass stool, using a low-volume TAI system regularly can help you achieve control over your bowel.²
Peristeen Light can be used with or without the supplied extension tube, so you can see which way works better for you.

“Used it for the first time today. Years of pain and struggle gone with this!”

“I kept seeing these adverts on social media. Yet initially did not have the courage to make contact about getting a free sample. My interest got stronger, so I filled in my details online, and only a few days later got a phone call from one of the Coloplast team. At first it felt weird to me discussing my personal bowel movements, and describing the use of the product. I was soon put at ease During the conversation I was able to ask loads of questions and was never made to feel daft for asking. The samples arrived within a few days. I was nervous using the product the first time. It was just fear of the unknown, would it hurt, would it work, would I use the product right. I need not have worried as there were a few leaflets in the box, that gave very clear instructions to follow. Once the product had done what it should have done and evacuated my bowels. The relief was amazing. Then after using the product a few times. I can honestly say i could feel the difference in before and after use. I also had a follow up call with the lovely lady from Coloplast, whom was checking in to see how I had gotten on and to see if it had helped me at all. This was another lovely conversation, as I got too tell her how using this product had helped change my life, and had given me some quality of life back. Anyone out there undecided, or scared whether to reach out to get this product. I say contact the company and discuss your needs with the lovely ladies. Use the product and then be prepared to be amazed by the positive difference it will make too your life. With kindest regards”

"This company is so polite, kind, understanding and professional, they pay everything discreetly and super-fast, there is nothing worse than being out socially and having issues that leave you in a position where you need to leave and go home. I tried Peristeen light, the trial was easy to arrange, completely no charge, then the GP easily prescribed it for me, I'm about to move to the plus and honestly the guys at Coloplast have been amazing. If you aren't sure if it's for you. Give them a call and have a chat and see if the free trial is for you."

After having bariatric surgery a year ago, I've struggled with constipation. I only go once a week. Got my sample, great service, staff are lovely, it's a game changer! The relief if instantaneous! Follow up call and now my 30-day NHS supply is on its way. They contact doctors and arrange the prescription. It's just brilliant!
