Endocuff, Endoring, Transparent cap, G-EYE balloon, and Third Eye Retroscope were all included in this review. Three of the devices, Endocuff, Endoring, and transparent hood or cap, have been shown to increase ADR without significantly altering the use of the colonoscope. Although balloon-assisted colonoscopy is not currently FDA-approved, it has the potential to increase ADR as well. Mechanical enhancement has been shown to complement the current forward-viewing colonoscope, and Endocuff appears to be the most beneficial attachment to improve ADR.
