How to use Fleet Saline Enema?
- Remove the orange protective shield from the enema ComforTip before inserting
- With steady pressure, gently insert the enema tip into the rectum with a slight side-to-side movement, with the tip pointing toward the navel
- Insertion may be easier if the person receiving the enema bears down as if having a bowel movement; this helps relax the muscles around the anus
- Do not force the enema tip into the rectum, as this can cause injury
- Squeeze the bottle until nearly all liquid is gone. It is not necessary to empty the bottle completely, as it contains more liquid than needed
- Remove Comfortip from the rectum and maintain position until the urge to evacuate is strong (usually 1 to 5 minutes)
- Do not retain the enema solution for more than 10 minutes
Positions for using this Enema
- Left-side position: lie on the left side with your knee bent and arms resting comfortably
