Introduction

The Third Eye® Retroscope® is a revolutionary new device that offers doctors a way to see more of the colon. During a colonoscopy exam, the Third Eye provides a retrograde—or reverse—view that appears on a screen side-by-side with the traditional forward-looking view.

Colonoscopy is currently the most accurate test for detection of both polyps and colorectal cancer. It also provides the best means for removing them.

However, research shows that some polyps and cancers can be missed during routine colonoscopy, especially if they occur in locations that are hidden from the forward view of the colonoscope.

The colon has many folds in its inner lining and contains many sharp turns, or flexures. The areas behind those folds and flexures are difficult to see with the colonoscope.

The Third Eye Retroscope provides a way to visualize the hidden areas behind folds and flexures by providing a retrograde view.
