The product is expected to hit the shelves in September, according to an Aug. 3 news release shared with Becker’s.

The EZ Detect colon disease screening test can detect hidden blood in a person’s stool, which may be an early sign of colorectal diseases such as colon and rectal cancers. Those with positive tests can then follow up with a physician for further analysis.

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.
