gritineye Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Well what looks like a lever with a handle seems to be some sort of plug on a flex. The vision of a plug in one orifice and the pump in the other, is starting to make my eyes water.... So presumably the plug is used to prevent the contents of the pump from escaping out of whatever orifice it has been pumped into. Is it for veterinary or human medical use?

Ah so you are still around Bernard & I knew I could rely on you getting to the bottom of the problem. Yes well done Bernard it is indeed Elam's Enema Apparatus for administering quantities up to 20 ounces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes everything fits into a horrifying logic. Yes for human use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 I'm just playing to the audience Bernard as that sort of thing seems popular, I thought Richard was already onto it. I will steer clear of detailed instructions for use but I think we can appreciate its operation. I wouldn't want to upset anyone's sensibilities & certainly don't want any sniggering from the back of the class. Just part of one phrase sets the scene "great care must be taken not to wet the bed as much mischief and discomfort may be caused" I had been expecting early on for someone to suggest that this was RAMC equipment but it ain't of course.

Starfire Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 My first thought when I saw it was that it looks like some sort of enema pump or something, but surely it wouldn't be that and it must be just my dirty mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
