More than one third of the U.S. screening age population avoids standard screening procedures such as colonoscopy. C-Scan has the potential to offer a more patient-friendly option, enabling people to get the screening they need.
- Patient-friendly
- No bowel preparation
- No sedation, pain or discomfort
- No interruption of daily routine
- Cloud based analysis suite allows physicians to analyze data anywhere
- No operating room needed at the hospital to perform the screening
Once the ingestible capsule C-Scan Cap is swallowed, it travels naturally along the gastrointestinal tract while scanning the inner lining of the colon. C-Scan Cap actively communicates with the second element of the system, C-Scan Track, which records and stores the scanning data. When the screening procedure is over, C-Scan Cap will be excreted naturally, the patient is notified, and the scanning data can be analyzed by using our proprietary software, C-Scan View.
