ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Dec. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Gastro Concepts, a team committed to advancing safety and efficiency in gastroenterology, today announced it has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for its groundbreaking Air AssistTM device. The Air AssistTM is a novel, disposable device designed to prevent air and CO2 escape during colonoscopy, thereby maintaining colonic distension for enhanced visibility and more efficient procedures.

Developed by a practicing gastroenterologist with extensive endoscopic experience, the Air AssistTM addresses a common issue encountered during colonoscopy. This simple, safe solution promises to improve the colonoscopy experience for both endoscopists and support staff. The device, made of self-lubricating medical-grade silicone, is easy to use and maneuver. It forms a reversible seal between the colonoscope and the anus or stoma, allowing for on-demand colonic distension that can be controlled by either the endoscopist or the technician.

The Air AssistTM aims to set a new standard in colonoscopy procedures by reducing frustration and improving efficiency.
