Colonoscopy is considered the most effective method for detecting and removing colorectal adenomas and is recommended as the primary screening modality for CRC, and missing these lesions is related to interval CRC. The colon has angulated segments and haustral bends, which create blind areas and potentially lead to missed adenomas. Therefore, the development of devices attached to the distal end of a colonoscope that helps to flatten such areas and expose the mucosa is potentially useful. Endocu
