Colon Transit Radiopaque Markers

Investigate the time of colonic passage and the rhythm of elimination with radiopaque markers. Bowel Motility & 3 X 2 (St. Marks Configuration) Colon Transit Markers have been largely used in many forms for years. There are various different test protocols, some users simply purchase low grade radiopaque shapes and perform in house studies on Colon Transit. In the current climate of CE marking and quality standards, we believe that this is simply not scientific or consistently reproducible. Working together with St. Mark’s Hospital, London and Medical Instruments Corporation in Switzerland, Pentland Medical devised two different Colon Transit Test types. Both test types comprise of high quality radiopaque markers encapsulated and packaged in foil bubble wrap. The tests are fully CE marked and supplied as consistent high quality products with a shelf life of five years. Both test types are now widely used in hospitals throughout the UK.
