Visualization of the Colon Through Use of the Magnetic Flexible Endoscope (MFE)

Vanderbilt University Medical Center·interventional·Posted Apr 27, 2023·Updated Dec 27, 2024

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Magnetic Flexible Endoscope (MFE) for Colonoscopy. Completed, enrolled 5 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

In this study, the investigators will evaluate the ability of the Magnetic Flexible Endoscope (MFE) to travel through the human colon. The MFE is a device made of ultra-flexible tubing that contains a camera, light, and magnet at the tip. The tip of the tube is about the size of a penny. The magnet inside the tip allows the MFE to be moved through the colon by a second magnet attached to a robotic arm that is outside the body. The objective of this feasibility study is to determine navigation of the colon and tolerability of the Magnetic Flexible Endoscope (MFE) traveling in the human colon.
