The present invention relates to an enema nozzle (1;18) for an enema system, and wherein said enema nozzle (1;18) comprises a catheter (2) provided with a flexible retention member (3;19) arranged for retaining the enema nozzle in a body cavity in a retention stage, and wherein said retention member is only partially filled with a liquid (15;21) in the retention stage. The combination of a flexible retention member (3;19) that is only partially filled with a liquid (15;21), ensures that the liquid contained in the retention member easily can be displaced/moved around inside the retention member (3;19) during use. In this way the retention member (3;19) remains pliable and flexible enough to be able to conform and adapt to the shape of the colon during use.
An enema nozzle (1;18) for an enema system, and wherein said enema nozzle comprises a catheter (2) provided with a flexible retention member (3;19) arranged for retaining the enema nozzle in a body cavity in a retention stage, and wherein said retention member (3;19) is only partially filled with a liquid (15;
