Our Investment in Your Health
Through our investment in training and the latest technology, the practice of Dr. Pou is dedicated to providing patients with the best environment for preventative and corrective procedures.
Dr. Pou uses Endocuff Vision® by Olympus. This endoscopic device attachs to the distal end of a colonoscope and is designed to maintain and maximize the viewable mucosa during the procedure by manipulating colonic folds. A single row of flexible arms evert and flatten folds to provide an enhanced view of the entire colon. Additionally arms of the Endocuff Vision help prevent slippage during withdrawal, stabilize the scope tip during examination and polypectomy, and reduce difficulties associated with looping.
This animated video demonstrates how the device provides you with a safer procedure.
Key benefits of Endocuff Vision
Improved control
- Anchors endoscope tip in the lumen during examination and polypectomy.
- Reduces slippage and minimizes difficulties associated with looping.
Improved application
- Hard plastic body and firm, dry grip on the scope prevent dislodgement and protect distal tip of the colonoscope.
- Hinged arms fit seamlessly into the device to create a low-profile design.
Improved design
- The proprietary hinged design allows the arms to fall flat against the scope for smooth forward movement during intubation.
Improved visualization
- Upon withdrawal, the uniquely hinged arms expand to gently flatten large mucosal folds, bringing difficult-to-see areas into view.
- Soft, flexible arms provide the right amount of force to be effective without causing mucosal trauma.
