Outcomes of Disposable Distal Attachment Device (Endocuff and Transparent Plastic Cap) Assisted Colonoscopy Versus Standard Colonoscopy

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.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: DIAGNOSTIC
  • Allocation: RANDOMIZED
  • Interventional Model: PARALLEL
  • Masking: QUADRUPLE

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
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.
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.
No endocuff device will be used on the study participants undergoing standard colonoscopy.
