<p>A device (20) for administering a liquid (38) into the body of a person through a natural orifice (28), e.g., the anus or vagina, while the person is seated on a toilet (22). The device comprises a base unit (30), an extendable tube (32) having a distal end (60), and a vessel (36) containing the liquid (38) for introduction into the person. The base unit (30) comprises a saddle (42) arranged for disposition under the toilet seat (24) and configured to be disposed between the buttocks (26) of the person when he/she is seated on the seat (24). A positionable guide tube (50) extends through a portion of the saddle (42) from an entrance point (62) adjacent the front of the toilet (22) to an opening (46) located at a position adjacent the natural orifice (28), e.g., anus or vagina, when the person is seated. The extendable tube (52) has a distal end portion (54) arranged to be inserted by the person into the guide tube (50) and through the opening (46), and the guide tube (50) is arranged to be slid with respect to the saddle (42), so that the distal end portion (54) of the extendable tube (52) is directed upward and enters the natural orifice (28). The vessel (36) is coupled to the extendable tube (52) by a pump (34) and associated connector (72) so that the liquid (38) within the vessel (36) can be pumped through the extendable tube (52) into the person's body.</p> |
