Silver Spring, Md.-based Capital Digestive Care is building a standalone office in Rockville, Md., to house an HyGIeaCare system.
What you should know:
1. The HyGIeaCare system is an alternative to traditional solution-based colonoscopy preparation. The machine uses a gentle infusion of warm, gravity-flow filtered water to properly prepare a patient's bowel system.
2. The HyGIeaCare system also benefits patients who suffer from constipation.
3. Capital Digestive decided to install the system to accommodate patients who struggle with conventional colonoscopy preparation solutions. Capital Digestive CEO and President Michael Weinstein, MD, said, "If patients who would otherwise forgo colonoscopy are motivated by this new, novel approach, we can save lives."
