Can reusable water make colonoscopy cleaner and greener?

NCT ID NCT06688955

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study checks if using specially controlled water in reusable bottles during colonoscopy stays free of bacteria from the patient's gut. Researchers will test water samples after each procedure in 40 adults. If the water remains clean, it could lead to a more eco-friendly and safe practice.

Active substance
bacteriologically controlled water
What this could lead to
If successful, this could support a safer, more eco-friendly practice for colonoscopy by using reusable water bottles instead of single-use ones.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early study with only 40 participants, focused on safety rather than treatment. It may not prove the water is always safe in all settings.
