Helena Laboratories™ ColoCARE™ FOB Test Kit

Description

Safer, easier and more pleasant to use than traditional guaiac slide tests. Simply place a ColoCARE test pad in the toilet after a bowel movement, watch for a color change and then flush the pad away.

• Throw-in-the-bowl test for detecting pre-symptomatic occult bleeding caused by gastrointestinal diseases
• Clean and disposable, easy for elderly patients to see and interpret, and extremely sensitive, with no increase in the false positive rate
