Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) ColoCare® Screening

Guaiac slides have been widely used as a low-cost, high-quality screening tool. But patient compliance can be poor with guaiac slides. That's why, with the aid of one of America's top medical specialists in the field of colon and rectal surgery, we developed ColoCare®.

ColoCare® is a clean, simple self-test. Sensitivity and specificity equals guaiac slides, but there's no stool handling, no developers and no processing. Compliance rates as high as 90% have been reported. ColoCare® eliminates the problems associated with guaiac slide tests - lower compliance rates, specimen mailing, delayed results, laboratory processing, handling and disposal of biohazards, etc. Try ColoCare®, the easy-to-use, economical choice for your next screening program.
