A screening tool for patients with chronic constipation
RED was designed to provide a simple screening tool that broadly detects evacuation disorders which can aid in assessing which patients may benefit from pelvic floor therapy.
Our mission is to give hope to every patient with chronic constipation. We want every Gastroenterologist practice to be able to safely and confidently perform meaningful anorectal testing without it impacting clinical workflow or requiring a large capital expense.
How does RED work?
Assessing Pelvic Floor Dysfunction with RED
We developed this device with the physician and patient in mind. RED was designed to self-inflate to a set volume with a special foam that mimics the “feel” of stool in the rectum.
Our aim was to provide an efficient, accurate, and cost-effective point of care tool to assess pelvic floor dysfunction and rectal hypersensitivity in patients with chronic constipation.
RED does not require a large capital purchase or ongoing expensive disposables.
Hypersensitivity Testing with RED
Currently, only about 2% of all patients with constipation are referred for anal-rectal testing and thus, a large number with pelvic floor dysfunction and rectal hypersensitivity are missed and/or fail to get proper treatment.
