ATLANTA, Dec. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- EndoChoice^® today fulfilled customer orders for Fuse slim colonoscopes. This innovative endoscope, called the C38s, is the latest advancement in the Fuse^® Full Spectrum Endoscopy^® portfolio and provides physicians with a panoramic 330 degree field of view in a slim profile endoscope – all while maintaining a large 3.8mm instrument channel. EndoChoice is the only company in the world to provide this combination of features.

"The new C38s slim colonoscope drives and performs like a traditional colonoscope with all of the benefits of a slim diameter," said Dr. Steven Morris, CEO of Atlanta Gastroenterology Associates. "The larger channel means I don't sacrifice functionality when I use a slimmer scope. This is a real breakthrough."

A recent study published in March 2014 in The Lancet Oncology demonstrated the panoramic 330 degree field of view provided by the Fuse technology enabled physicians to detect significantly more adenomas in comparison with traditional forward-viewing colonoscopes. The ability to detect more adenomas during colonoscopy has the potential to reduce healthcare costs while also minimizing patient anxiety over concerns pre-cancerous lesions are being missed.

"At EndoChoice, our mission is to serve the GI caregiver through insight and innovation," said Mark Gilreath, Founder and CEO at EndoChoice, Full Spectrum Endoscopy. "The C38s slim colonoscope is yet another example of how EndoChoice is partnering with physicians to advance their practices."
