Colorectal cancer is the second biggest cause of cancer death in most western countries and can always be prevented by early detection and removal of polyps.

Aer-O-Scope features a soft multi-lumen tube, designed to significantly reduce pressure on the colon wall and increase patient safety.

The company said safety and ease of use are maximised by the system’s self-propelled intubation, created using balloons and low-pressure CO2 gas.

GI View CEO Dr Tal Simchony said: "Aer-O-Scope is the only colorectal screening product that is single use, self-propelled and has 360° omni-directional visualisation.

"This enables the physician to observe all the mucosa of the colon, including behind folds, which is critical for a complete colonic assessment.

"If a polyp is there, Aer-O-Scope will allow the physician the best possible chance of finding it."
