A Passion for Staff and Patient Safety

Gastroenterologist, Dr. Marybeth Spanarkel, is the co-founder of and senior medical advisor to ColoWrap.  In this video, she discusses how the physical demands of manual compression and repositioning contributed to a career-ending injury.  

It was this injury that served as additional motivation for her to develop a colonoscopy compression device that is far safer and effective than the current status quo of today.

Who We Are

ColoWrap, LLC is a medical device company that has developed the ColoWrap Anti-Looping Abdominal Compression Device, the only available solution to effectively address looping during colonoscopy. The Company was founded by Dr. Marybeth Spanarkel and healthcare entrepreneur James Hathorn, and the team includes doctors, scientists, engineers, and business professionals all dedicated to improving the safety of colonoscopy for patients and healthcare providers. 

 

What We Believe

We believe that colonoscopy saves lives and remains the best way to prevent colon cancer. We believe that the current methods for mitigating looping during colonoscopy are ineffective and unsafe, and expose patients and healthcare providers to unnecessary risk of harm. We believe that anything that can be done to improve colonoscopy will translate into more lives saved. Our mission is to make colonoscopy safer for patients and healthcare providers by eliminating the need for manual pressure and patient repositioning to address looping during colonoscopy.
