The ACA Conference at Manchester International Conference Centre, Manchester saw the presentation of the 10th annual ACA/PromoCon ‘Look Good, Feel Good’ Award to Coloplast for the Peristeen Anal Irrigation System.

Peristeen Anal Irrigation (also known as Trans-anal irrigation or rectal irrigation) is a unique way of emptying the lower bowel and is used to prevent faecal incontinence, constipation or simply as a method of bowel management. The winning product, Peristeen, is the only anal irrigation system available on prescription. It has been specifically designed to make it portable and easy to use, which offers independence and a sense of confidence to the user. It can be used by people with a variety of bowel problems.

The aim of the Look Good, Feel Good award is to encourage manufacturers to consider the appearance of products as well as their performance. Very often a person with bladder or bowel problems will dismiss a product purely on its appearance without considering if the product would help them regain continence or manage their incontinence more effectively and enhance quality of life.

Companies exhibiting products at the ACA Conference were invited to enter any product that had been launched since the previous conference. Products were judged by representatives from the ACA, the Continence and Skin Technology Group, Incontact, the BioMed Centre and PromoCon.
