Outcomes of Disposable Distal Attachment Device (Endocuff and Transparent Plastic Cap) Assisted Colonoscopy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy of device assisted colonoscopy (DAC) with standard colonoscopy (SC) in detecting adenomas in a randomized fashion.

Experimental: Device Assisted Colonoscopy Device assisted colonoscopy (DAC) is a technique of attaching disposable devices like "Endocuff" or "Transparent cap" at tip of colonoscope to improve mucosal visualization and stability. |
Device: Device Assisted Colonoscopy
This will be similar to the standard colonoscopy except the endocuff device will be used.
|
Active Comparator: Standard Colonoscopy Standard colonoscopy is the endoscopic examination of the large bowel and the distal part of the small bowel with a camera on a flexible tube passed through the anus. |
Device: Standard Colonoscopy
No endocuff device will be used on the study participants undergoing standard colonoscopy.
