Proven to improve the detection of adenomas and polyps when compared to standard colonoscopy, the device can be attached to the end of the colonoscope, which enables better field of view by holding back colonic folds during colonoscope withdrawal.
Norgine UK & ROI general manager Bob Cuffe said: “Norgine is confident that the use of Endocuff Vision brings value to healthcare systems and patients by increasing the detection of cancerous polyps in patients undergoing bowel cancer screening and surveillance.”
It is reported that the identification and elimination of pre-cancerous polyps during colonoscopy minimises the development of and death from colorectal cancer.
Part of Norgine’s colonoscopy portfolio including Klean-Prep and Moviprep, the device is available through Olympus Corporation of the Americas in the US and Canada.
