ColoWrap, Inc.

ColoWrap is a medical device company and the pioneer of external compression technology to facilitate endoscopic procedures. Founded with a mission to improve colonoscopy outcomes, the company developed the first clinical colonoscopy compression device specifically designed to mitigate the need for manual abdominal pressure and patient repositioning during procedures.

The ColoWrap Anti-Looping Colonoscopy Compression Device is an elegantly simple, non-invasive solution that addresses one of the most significant challenges in gastroenterology: looping of the colonoscope, which occurs in up to 90% of colonoscopies. The device uses a proprietary neoprene-based, latex-free design to apply targeted compression to the colon during procedures. Clinical studies have demonstrated that ColoWrap reduces the need for manual pressure by up to 73.6% and patient repositioning by 59.5%, while decreasing mean cecal intubation time by up to 23%.

Headquartered in Durham, North Carolina, ColoWrap has established itself as an early-stage medical technology company with strong intellectual property protection, holding more than 15 issued patents. The company has been recognized with a Phase I SBIR Grant from the National Science Foundation to support research and development of novel anti-looping devices. With over 100,000 colonoscopies performed using the device and no adverse events reported, ColoWrap is committed to creating a zero-harm endoscopy environment for patients, staff, and providers.
