• Physician pauses scope advancement efforts
• Two staff members
• If patient is left side lying-Accordion fold ColoWrap to pass under patient
• Ensure positioning is correct at iliac crests and left hip
• Secure as you would pre-procedure

• Small Bowel Obstruction
• Anatomic abnormalities precluding device placement (insulin pump, etc)
