No heat needed: cold snare could make polyp removal safer
NCT ID NCT07114380
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a technique called cold snare polypectomy can safely remove 10-20 mm colon polyps without using heat. About 120 adults will have their polyps removed this way during a colonoscopy. The goal is to see if it works well and causes fewer complications than traditional methods.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
cold snare polypectomy (device procedure)
What this could lead to
If successful, this technique could offer a safer, simpler way to remove medium-sized polyps during colonoscopy, reducing the need for electrocautery and its risks.
What could go wrong
This is an early feasibility study with only 120 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The procedure may fail to remove some polyps or cause bleeding.
