How it Works

ENDOCUFF VISION™ is a device attached to the distal end of a colonoscope, designed to maintain and maximise the viewable mucosa during endoscopic therapy by manipulating colonic folds.

A single row of flexible arms evert and flatten folds to provide an enhanced view of the entire colon and to decrease the polyp miss rate. 8

Adenoma Detection Rate
Increases the adenoma detection rate by up to 11% (result of meta-analysis) — for every 1,000 patients screened, it is estimated that up to 110 patients with an adenoma could have been additionally identified using the ENDOCUFF technology 15

A 1% Increase in ADR Leads To:

  • 3% decrease in the risk of interval cancer. 5
  • 5% decrease in the risk of a fatal interval colorectal cancer. 5

Evidence
Widely tested in 12 randomised controlled trials with more than 8,000 patients and 140 colonoscopists, plus experts and endoscopists 15

Safe
ENDOCUFF VISION™ shows no adverse or serious adverse events when tested in over 800 patients by 70 endoscopists 11

Causes for Concern with Unseen Adenomas and Polyps:

  • 24% of adenomas are missed with standard colonoscopy. 7
  • 40% of polyps go undetected. 8

ENDOCUFF VISION™ maximises visualisation during a colonoscopy, decreasing the overall polyp miss rate. 10
