Applied Medical Technologies MiniACE Antegrade Continence Enema Button

This single-unit Applied Medical Technologies MiniACE is a specialized balloon button designed to facilitate antegrade continence enemas (ACE procedures) for patients requiring bowel management solutions. The device features a 14 Fr size with 4 cm length, offering a low-profile design that sits flush against the skin for comfortable daily wear.

Advanced Bowel Management Solution

The MiniACE balloon button provides an alternative approach to traditional enema administration, allowing for antegrade continence enemas through either Malone/appendicostomy or cecostomy procedures. This innovative medical device enables irrigation from the top down, potentially offering more complete colon flushing compared to traditional methods.

Clinical Applications

ACE procedures are typically recommended for patients experiencing severe constipation or fecal incontinence associated with conditions such as Hirschsprungs Disease, spina bifida, gastrointestinal dysmotility, and other malformations. This solution can provide greater independence and improved quality of life for patients who have not responded adequately to dietary changes or traditional enema methods.

Professional-Grade Features

• Low-profile design for discreet wear under clothing
• Gentle internal retention balloon that's easy on intestinal walls
• Enhanced security within the stoma to reduce accidental pull-outs
• Tapered tubing with exclusive apple-shaped balloon design to minimize leakage
• Integrated anti-leakage valve prevents backflow of irrigation fluids
• Patient-specific sizing reduces movement within the stoma for increased comfort

The MiniACE device is cleared for initial placement and can be easily exchanged in clinical settings without requiring anesthesia, radiation exposure, or expensive trips to interventional radiology or operating rooms. This streamlined approach supports efficient patient care while maintaining clinical effectiveness.
