The device maintains colonic distension for enhanced visibility and more efficient procedures, according to a Dec. 16 new release. 

The device was developed by a practicing gastroenterologist to address a common issue encountered during colonoscopies. 

The device is made from self-lubricating medical-grade silicone and forms a reversible seal between the colonoscope and the anus or stoma, allowing for on-demand colonic distension that can be controlled by a colonoscopist or technician. 

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.
