The grant launches a research and development initiative to adapt ColoWrap’s existing antilooping colonoscopy compression device to a broader patient population.

ColoWrap is a single-use, noninvasive medical device designed to prevent looping during colonoscopy. Looping occurs in up to 90 percent of procedures and is the primary cause of patient pain, complications and failed exams, the release said.

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.
