“…Spiral enteroscopy [16] could shorten the procedure time, as the enteroscope is propelled through the small bowel using a rotating spiral, like an overtube. A single-use double-balloon spiral overtube is available that can be mounted on most of the standard endoscopes, thus enabling push-and-pull manoeuvres [180].…”

“…It has a 118 cm Endo-EaseDiscovery TM SB overtube with a internal diameter of 9.8mm with a softraised helix, a coupling device to fix to the lubricated overtube to theenteroscope 25 cm from its tip. It has two handles for manual rotation andan injection port for lubrication [9]. Clock wise rotation pleats the smallintestine into the scope, once engaged and advances the same thustransforming the torching force into a linear force.…”

The small bowel remains the "last frontier" in gastroenterology for a long period after the start of endoscopy. Even with the advent of better endoscopes and colonoscopies barium meal and follow through remained the preferred method of investigation of the small bowel. Although push enteroscopy was present from the 1980's it was not until the advent of device assisted enteroscopy that the small bowel was finally conquered. Device assisted enteroscopy includes, double balloon enteroscopy, single balloon enteroscopy and spiral enteroscopy. The other method of visualizing the small bowel was capsule enteroscopy. Capsule enteroscopy too revolutionized endoscopy as it gave patients a degree for freedom never before enjoyed and would be the best screening tool available. However, its main disadvantage remains the inability to obtain biopsies.

“…In the meantime another overtube-based spiral enteroscopy device was developed [ 12 ]. The principle of spiral enteroscopy is based on the use of an overtube, which has a screwlike tubing covering it.…”
