The Mowoot II is a Intestinal Transit Management System designed to replicate Intermittent Colonic Exo-Peristalsis therapy, based on the same clinical mechanism of action as colonic abdominal massage delivered by professional physiotherapist. This system is easy to use and is cheaper than a chronic treatment with laxatives or enemas while also being less invasive and less irritating.
It is scientifically proven that abdominal massage is an effective treatment against constipation, but you have to do it every day and you have to know how to do it. MOWOOT achieves the same effect as that massage. It is cheaper than a chronic treatment with laxatives or enemas, is less invasive and is not irritating. It is safe, does not apply any more pressure than necessary and many users report that it is relaxing.
MOWOOT is very easy to put on and can be set up in less than a minute. The massager belt is placed around the abdomen and is adjusted by a velcro so that the blue stitching is right in the center of the abdomen and the tubes exit on the left side of the belt.
Once the belt has been adjusted, you can turn on the desktop by changing the switch on the back side to the ON position. Choose how long you want the massage to last (we recommend using it every day for 10 to 20 minutes) and with what intensity you want it (we recommend starting with level 3, the highest, and lowering the intensity as we notice improvement). Both things, duration and intensity, are chosen on the control panel of the desktop. Then press the PLAY button and the massage will begin. It is as simple as that.
The second time you use MOWOOT is even easier: as the duration and intensity of the last massage will be stored in the device, you will receive the exact same massage again when you push PLAY, until you decide to change it.
MOWOOT, the automated colon-specific massage unit, consists of: desktop device (console), massage belt, connectors and power supply.
MOWOOT, the automated colon-specific massage unit, comes in four sizes depending on the perimeter of the massager belt:
MOWOOT reproduces in a very precise way the abdominal massage that physiotherapists administer to:
What MOWOOT does not do is working on the anal sphincters. If you have a problem with the muscles of the sphincters, you will reduce the time of evacuation with MOWOOT, but to be able to evacuate you will still need an external physical stimulus (suppository, microenema or digital stimulation). We strongly advise that you discuss this with your Doctor or Medical professional.
The massage provided by the device reinforces the movement that your intestines should do naturally. If you use it daily between 10 and 20 minutes, you will observe the following changes:
The effectiveness of MOWOOT for solving constipation has been proven by a clinical study presented at the Congress of the Society of Geriatric Medicine of the European Union. All participants increased the mean number of stools per week and reported a significant improvement in stool consistency and a noticeable reduction in defecation time.
It depends on each patient and can be days or weeks. There are patients who already notice that their intestines work better after the first couple of days. Unlike other solutions, such as laxatives, MOWOOT improves its effectiveness over time and increases its benefits with every use. In any case, within two months you should have noticed the beneficial effect of MOWOOT.
We recommend a minimum of 10 to 20 minutes a day for the abdominal massage to be effective. The time of use depends a lot on the severity of your constipation (more time of use, more benefit) and your personal likes (the massage is very pleasant).
It is not necessary to use MOWOOT several times a day, but there is no problem in doing so. There are patients who have told us that they use it up to 3 times a day. The recommended use is 20 minutes a day. You can use MOWOOT only once a day for 20 minutes, 2 times for 10 minutes each or even more, according to your likes and necessities.
It is advisable to always use MOWOOT at the same time of day to help the bowel return to a healthy routine. Ideally you should use it in the morning, after waking up, but it can be any other time of day that works for you. The important thing is that you are relaxed and you do it without haste. If you do not have time in the morning, do it at night before bed or in the afternoon while reading or watching TV. You should find the moment that best fits you, the important part is that you are constant.

Most of the equipment listed on our website comes with a 12 month manufacturer's warranty against manufacturing faults. Please refer to individual listings for specific manufacturer warranty information or call us on 028 92 67 70 77 if required. Should a fault develop within the manufacturer warranty period which is found to be as a result of a manufacturing defect, the manufacturer will supply replacement parts free of charge. Some manufacturers offer longer warranty terms and some offer less terms on specific consumables such as batteries. Wear and tear items and consumables are not covered by the manufacturers warranty. The manufacturer usually includes their warranty terms in their user manual. If in doubt please ask.
As standard, parts will be supplied under warranty free of charge but labour charges will apply if you are unable to replace the part yourself. Labour and call out charge information can be provided by phone on 028 92 67 70 77. We strongly advise all customers to retain the product packagaing so that it can be used if the product needs to be sent for repair at one of our Service Centres. Customers should also note that all efforts will be made to resolve any issues in a swift and efficient manner but we do not provide an emergency on-call service.
If you are considering buying an electric wheelchair, mobility scooter, electric rise and recline chair, bath lift, hoist or electric profiling beds then you may wish to consider taking out our optional 12 Months Enhanced Warranty Support. As manufacturers’ warranties do not in general include callouts and labour, we highly recommend our “12 Months Enhanced Warranty Support " which covers the cost of call outs and labour to diagnose faults and fit warranty parts for up to 3 call outs in year one. Should your product develop a fault we will always try to diagnose the problem by telephone to provide the quickest solution. If you opt in to the enhanced warranty support we will appoint a competent person to call out and fit parts under warranty and there would be no charge incurred for the call out and labour.
If you don’t opt in to this service, we can either dispatch the parts via courier for you to appoint your own fitter or we would offer to arrange a chargeable call out for an engineer to visit. This enhanced warranty option doesn’t cover the cost of call outs and labour to repair or fit parts not covered under warranty due to damage or customer misuse. In the event of non warranty parts requirements labour and call outs are chargeable at the standard rate.
Our vast range of products includes many popular and common solutions along with many specialised and sophisticated bespoke products. We know that peace of mind is important for any user or customer so we try and provide all product warranty information. If you require specific warranty information on any product in our range just call us on 028 92 67 70 77 or make an enquiry on the product page itself online.
