A Self-Propelled, Disposable Colonoscope
Powered by 2 balloons and low-pressure CO
2
for self-propelled intubation, the Aer-O-
Scope Colonoscope is designed to change the way you perform colorectal cancer screen-
ing. The single-use device has 360° omni-directional visualization capabilities as well as
a front view similar to conventional colonoscopy — visible to the practitioner on a single
screen. It's designed to both ensure easy visualization behind haustral folds and to exert
10 times less pressure on the colon wall for a safe procedure. The company, GI View, says
a breakthrough in the use of pneumatic technology enables motion within the colon
with a thin multi-lumen cable and 2 balloons. An ergonomic joystick enables intuitive
control of navigation, insufflation, irrigation and suction, adds GI View, which expects to
introduce the Aer-O-Scope in the United States in 2016.
