astroenterology's need for high-quality visualization
and minimally invasive therapy makes it a specialty
that benefits greatly from technological advances.
The exhibit hall at the Digestive Disease Week con-
ference, held this year in Washington, D.C., featured
products that increase our field of view and give us greater reach.
Here are several products that really stood out in my tour of the
exhibit hall, starting with a revolutionary same-day bowel prep system
where patients go to a spa-like center and sit on a private basin,
where a gentle stream of temperature controlled, gravity-flow water
loosens stool and induces peristalsis, letting patients comfortably
and odorlessly evacuate their colons with discreet bowel movements.
