A prophylactic rectal douching device (10) includes a plastic squeeze bottle (12) having a cap (16) with an elongated nozzle (14) mounted thereon and extending upwardly therefrom. The cap (12) is divided into an upper portion (16a) and a lower portion (16b) and includes a living hinge (18) between the two which allows the upper cap portion and nozzle to pivot out of the way to expose the open top of the bottle for refilling the same with tap water. This is done without having to remove the entire cap and nozzle from the bottle. A locking mechanism (20, 22) maintains the upper cap portion (16a) and nozzle (14) in their upright operable position during use. The nozzle (14) includes a plurality of spaced apertures (30, 34) which are designed to dispense liquid from the bottle (12) at optimal angles. Flow splitters (50, 52) within the nozzle equalize the flow rate and pressure among the various apertures. The nozzle is also adapted to carry a supply of medication (58) which is intended to be added to the douching fluid. |
