Gastro Concepts is a team of gastroenterologists, engineers, and business professionals dedicated to finding improvements and enhancing the safety and efficacy in the field of Gastroenterology
About Us
Our flagship product, the Air Assist™, is a novel colonoscopy device designed to prevent air and CO₂ escape while maintaining optimal colonic distension. This results in more efficient, consistent, and less frustrating procedures. Developed by a practicing gastroenterologist with extensive endoscopic experience, Air Assist™ embodies a simple and safe solution to a long-standing procedural challenge. With two issued method patents and one pending—protecting its unique approach to preventing air and CO₂ escape during colonoscopy and others from duplicating or using it for the same purpose—it offers an innovative advancement that enhances the experience for both endoscopists and endoscopy staff alike.
