In the researchers' words
In this study, the investigators will test the ability of the Magnetic Flexible Endoscope (MFE) to travel through the colon of people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). The MFE is a device made of ultra-flexible tubing that contains a camera, light, and magnet at the tip. The tip of the tube is about the size of a penny. The magnet inside the tip allows the MFE to be moved through the colon by a second magnet attached to a robotic arm that is outside the body. The purpose of this study is to see how the MFE travels through the colon of IBD patients and if it is tolerable.
