Check-Cap’s C-Scan system is an ingestible capsule that detects colorectal polyps before they turn into colorectal cancer. The company uses tracking technology to follow the capsule’s movement throughout a patient’s body for real-time activation.

The patent comes after the company’s announcement that it would be expanding its manufacturing capacity in preparation for a U.S. study being launched next year.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
