Customized syringe for microlax

With a customized syringe a person with impaired hand function can self-administer microlax

Description
A 10-20 ml syringe is filled with Microlax, which is available in large packages. The tip of the catheter tube is placed on the syringe instead of the needle. With the right position on the toilet and a mirror (see associated tip) the user can self-administer the microlax.

Authors comments
The mirror is not necessarily if the user learns to find the right place by touch.

Other users think it's easier to use a catheter tip which is a bit longer (about 8 cm).
