Apparatus for administering enemas to patients in geriatric wards and nursing homes for the aged includes a wheeled cart having a receptacle for liquids to be administered and a slop jar for liquids excreted by patients during relief pauses in the administration. A disposable tip having a novel clamp for holding it in place is connected through a disposable T-section of tubing to tubing from the supply receptacle and also to tubing to the slop jar. Shut-off valves secured to the cart comprise a first shut-off valve in the tubing leading from the supply to the T-section, a second shut-off valve in the tubing between the T-section and the slop jar, and a third shut-off clamp valve adapted to receive a flexible leg of the T-section therein, the tubing from the supply being adapted to be connected to this flexible section. The tubing to the slop jar is adapted to be connected to another leg of the T-section, and the third leg of the T-section includes flexible tubing adapted to be connected to the disposable tip. The third shut-off clamp valve is always closed before reverse flow from patient to slop jar takes place whereby contamination of the tubing from the supply is prevented, the T-section and tip are disposable, and contamination of the tubing to the slop jar is immaterial.
