A corrugated collapsible and expandable hose specifically for use in colon hydrotherapy which is collapsed for shipping and storage purposes and can be expanded to its full length or part of its full length for use during a colon hydrotherapy treatment and in order to accommodate specific treatment room set-ups. The invention includes a non-corrugated directional hand-pump section which allows the practitioner to apply pumping action to dislodge fecal matter in the colon thus increasing the effectiveness of a colon cleansing treatment. This directional hand-pump section is similar to a primer bulb but without valves to restrict direction of flow. Rather, the practitioner may fold the tubing at a crimpable indentation while squeezing the hand pump section to simultaneously stop water flow and control the direction of the pumping action. The invention includes two non-corrugated sections at opposing ends that conform to the tapered connections of commonly used anal speculas used for treatments and to the tapered connections of commonly used colon hydrotherapy devices used for treatments, thus providing a firm fit and eliminating the risk of the hose unintentionally disconnecting during a treatment. The two tapered sections are predominantly of sufficient length (e.g. 1.25 inch), to provide adequate surface contact to the tapered connections of the anal speculas and to the colon hydrotherapy devices used for treatments. |
