Reusing polyp traps for greener colonoscopies
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests whether cleaning and reusing the small collection traps used to gather polyps during colonoscopy is safe and practical, which could make the procedure more eco-friendly. If you are having a routine colonoscopy, you may be asked to help with this sustainability effort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for an elective (non-emergency) colonoscopy.
- You agree to sign a consent form and be available for a follow-up phone call.
- Your colonoscopy must include a procedure to remove polyps (polypectomy) and use a polyp trap.
- You cannot take part if your colonoscopy does not need a polyp trap or a polypectomy.

This trial tests a new device to help doctors remove larger, non-cancerous polyps from the colon during a colonoscopy. It may make the procedure easier and more effective for eligible patients.
This trial is testing a standard way to remove large polyps from the colon and checking if it helps prevent them from coming back. It's for people who have a large non-cancerous polyp that needs to be taken out during a colonoscopy.
This trial compares two common techniques for removing small polyps (less than 10 millimeters) during a colonoscopy: a cold snare (a wire loop) and cold forceps (a grasping tool). The goal is to find out which method is safer and more effective at completely removing these small growths to help prevent colon cancer.
This study follows people who have had stomach or intestinal polyps removed during an endoscopy to see how often new polyps grow back. It helps doctors learn better ways to monitor and prevent recurrence.
This study collects recorded video from routine colonoscopies. It may help researchers by providing real-world footage while you receive standard care.
This study aims to develop a tool using gut bacteria and metabolites to predict if high-risk colon polyps will come back after removal. If you are between 40 and 75 and have had certain types of colon polyps removed, you may be able to help us build better prediction methods.
