Reusing polyp traps for a greener colonoscopy
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at whether used polyp traps (the device that catches removed polyps) can be safely reused. If you are having a colonoscopy with polyp removal, you may be able to help reduce medical waste.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a planned (non-emergency) colonoscopy.
- You are willing to sign a consent form and be contacted by phone for follow-up.
- Your doctor expects to remove at least one polyp during the colonoscopy.
- A polyp trap will be used to collect the removed polyp.

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 study looks at two different methods for removing large colon polyps to see which one better prevents polyps from coming back. It may help people who have a non-cancerous, flat polyp that is at least 20 mm wide.
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.
This study tests whether a specific way of removing large colon polyps (called non-thermal endoscopic resection) lowers the chance that the polyp comes back. It may help people who need to have a large polyp removed during a colonoscopy.
This study compares two ways to remove large, stalked polyps in the colon. One method uses water to lift the polyp before cutting it, and the other uses a small metal clip and a hot snare. The goal is to find which technique is safer and more effective.
