HyGIeaCare Prep offers effective same-day salvage colonic irrigation for patients with poor oral preparation, according to a poster that will be presented at Digestive Disease Week in Washington, D.C., between June 2 and 5.
Here are three things to know.
1. The poster presents data from a study of 25 consecutive patients who presented for colonoscopy but were unable to complete their prescribed preparation, reported responding poorly to their traditional oral preparation or failed to adhere to their prescribed oral preparation.
2. Instead of rescheduling their procedure, each patient underwent a salvage HyGIeaCare colon irrigation preparation within two to three hours of their scheduled colonoscopy. According to the poster, all patients in the study reported that they would choose HyGIeaCare colonic irrigation for their next colonoscopy preparation.
3. According to HyGIeaCare chairman and CEO Gavriel Meron, more than 8,000 patients have used HyGIeaCare Prep for their colonoscopy with 97 percent adequacy of preparation and 95 percent patient willingness to repeat, with no severe adverse events.
