Improved Visualization

The unique “J” shape catheter design provides retrograde visualization for the most complete view of the colon.

Rear View. Forward Thinking.

  • Delivers a More Complete View of the Colon
    • During colonoscopy, the Third Eye's unique “J” shape catheter design allows the physician to see behind folds and flexures by providing a retrograde view that complements the forward view of the colonoscope.
    • Innovative chip-on-catheter-tip design with high quality video imaging provides superior visualization.
    • An integrated light source on the catheter provides illumination without the need for a costly additional external light source.
  •  
  • Compelling Clinical Value
    • The Third Eye Retroscope has been shown to find 23 – 25% additional adenomas compared to standard colonoscopy across all patient types1,2
    • Third Eye colonoscopy resulted in substantially improved adenoma detection rates for high risk patients versus standard colonoscopy3
      • For patients who were undergoing colonoscopy for “surveillance” after previous removal of adenomas, the additional adenoma detection rate for Third Eye colonoscopy compared to standard colonoscopy was 35.7%
      • For patients having a “diagnostic” colonoscopy to look for a reason for symptoms such as anemia, weight loss, changes in bowel habits or rectal bleeding, the additional adenoma detection rate with Third Eye colonoscopy was 55.4%
      • The pooled results for these two “high risk” groups showed a 40.7% additional adenoma detection rate with Third Eye colonoscopy
  •  
  • Procedural Advantages
    • Retrograde view may minimize manipulation required to view areas behind folds.
    • Activating a foot pedal captures still images from both the forward and retrograde views simultaneously.
  •  
  • Integrates with Standard Colonoscopy System
    • Third Eye catheter fits through the working channel of most colonoscopes.
    • Third Eye video processor and monitor integrate with standard colonoscopy systems and display both forward and retrograde views on the same monitor.
  •  
  • Cost-Effective
    • Eliminates need for:
      • Additional referral for consultation.
      • An additional procedure.
      • An additional bowel prep.
    • Lost cost, single-patient-use, disposable device.
    • Minimal expense of capital equipment.
