Endocuff is a disposable polymer sleeve, which is attached to the tip of a colonoscope in order to enhance mucosal imaging during the colonoscopy procedure. The flexible projections gently flatten the folds of the intestinal wall, making even the smallest polyps visible. At the same time, they prevent the endoscope from slipping during the examination. The cuff is available in various sizes, which are differentiated by colour.
