An irrigation system comprising:
- a container having a reservoir space adapted to contain a volume of a liquid and an electrical pump isolated from the reservoir space;
- a connector longitudinally connected between a first tube that is coupled with the container and a second tube that is coupled to an anal probe, with the first tube including a first lumen adapted to transport the liquid and a second lumen including electrical wiring that is connected to the electrical pump;
- and
- a control unit electrically connected to the electrical pump through connection with the electrical wiring, where the control unit is coupled to the connector by a cord having a hinge;
- wherein the cord couples the control unit to the first tube and to the second tube with the control unit disposed transverse relative to the connector;
- wherein the cord allows the control unit to pivot relative to the first tube and to the second tube;
- wherein the cord has a tube element adapted to close around the connector and a flexible strip of material extending from the tube element, where the flexible strip of material is adapted to allow the control unit to move relative to the second tube that is coupled to the anal probe.
