Guest guest Posted July 3, 2001 Report Share Posted July 3, 2001 Marlene: A peri-bottle is a plastic squeeze bottle used for perineal cleansing. It has a screw on top to which a long bent tube is attached. After filling with water, the tube is directed to the perineal area. A hand held shower nozzle can be used for the same purpose, but is often not available in a hospital or public restroom. Peri-bottles are available at your local surgical supply house. Unfortunately, the large chain drug stores such as Genovese and CVS don't seem to carry them, at least not in NYC. If you have any other questions, just ask. I've been an RN for 27 years, and if I don't know the answer I know where to find out! counting the days until 9/5/01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
