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 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
