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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- 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.
