EndoCole is developing a low cost disposable device significantly to improve colonoscopies. The firm's device consists of a low cost, endoscopic guide tube that is quickly and easily deployed within the colon, enabling the physician to rapidly insert a standard colonoscope with much less force and none of the technical maneuvering currently required. An added benefit is patient pain associated with the procedure will be greatly reduced, thereby reducing procedure cost by minimizing the need for sedation or anesthesia. novel, low-cost disposable device to significantly improve colonoscopy
