An endoscope with a flexible inserted portion intended for the visual examination and treatment of the entire colon [lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract]. It is inserted through the anus during colonoscopy typically to examine the colon (e.g., diseases on the colon) or colon contents (e.g., blood in stools). It may be designed to be manually inserted or designed with features to assist/power insertion (e.g., push/pull double-balloons, powered propelling mechanism). Anatomical images are transmitted to the user by a video system with an image sensor chip at the distal end of the endoscope and the images showing on a monitor. This is a single-use device.
