Bracco complements its portfolio with a wide range of medical devices for Endoscopy and X-ray diagnostic procedures. The most interesting tool is an essential component for Endoscopy, the CO₂EFFICIENT insufflator.

It is an attractive device to be added to your existing facility, as CO₂ is absorbed 150 times faster than the nitrogen in air, and promptly eliminated via the lungs and improves patient safety through redundant pressure relief valves and automatic flow-stop features which protect against over-insufflation.

A recent study on minimizing post-colonoscopy abdominal pain showed that 1 hour after colonoscopy, a majority of patients insufflated with room air had significant residual gas while 94% of patients insufflated with carbon dioxide had only trace to minimal residual gas.

Moreover, Bracco produces a wide array of complementary devices for Gastroenterology and Gastrointestinal Radiology, providing a full range solution to every medical need. This includes all the Barium examination accessories for GI oral studies, and Barium enema, as well as CT Colonography procedures.

A common problem for GI examination is related to low tolerability of currently available colon cleansing preparations; Bracco provides LoSo Prep, a bowel evacuant that is right for most patients-even those on restricted diets. Its low volume and pleasant taste helps encourage patient compliance, while providing an alternative to oral sodium phosphate patient preparation.

As a new modality; CT Colonography requires a tagging agent, TagitolTM, a low-volume radiopaque marker that tags residual stool in the colon, simplifying the distinction between feces and colonic abnormality. This is part of a strategy focused on a technical support to all the medical activities covered by Bracco products.
