Pneumatic assistance for colonoscopy
In development. Reusable imaging, replaceable patient contact components. The clinician stays in control.
In development. Reusable imaging, replaceable patient contact components. The clinician stays in control.
We are developing a clinician controlled device for screening, biopsy and appropriate small polyp removal. Our goal is to reduce annual hospital device costs.
In development. Not cleared for clinical use.
Hospitals pay for scope repairs, reprocessing and spare instruments. We are focusing on endoscopy centres replacing equipment or adding capacity, where a different device architecture could change annual costs.
The proposed design keeps imaging and control equipment for reuse. Patient contact tubing, balloons and working channels are replaced for each procedure.
Two balloons and a pneumatic section are intended to assist advancement when needed. The clinician controls the procedure.
Initial intended uses are screening, biopsy and appropriate small polyp removal, subject to validation.
First assess compatibility with existing hospital lesion detection software. Bench data will guide research on calibration, tracking and limited control assistance.
Additional functions require testing and any applicable authorisation. The clinician remains in control.
A mechanical demonstrator, three chamber design and prototype specification are available. Integrated device performance has not yet been established.
Target for 2027: integration and repeatable bench testing. Engineering acceptance comes before transfer to a professional development and manufacturing provider.
Safety, imaging isolation and reprocessing requirements need validation. Any animal or human study requires the relevant approvals. Hospital savings remain to be established.
