SITZMARKS®
The Preferred Colonic Transit Time Test
When your patient has chronic constipation, determining the next steps quickly is key. Start with SITZMARKS, a non-invasive diagnostic test designed to provide insight into your patient’s colonic transit and aid in the diagnosis of conditions like colonic inertia, blockage, chronic constipation, and other motility disorders.
SITZMARKS is indicated for patients with severe constipation with otherwise negative GI evaluations, and it’s easy for you and your patient.
Description
What’s in the Capsule?
Each SITZMARKS capsule contains 24 radiopaque markers, which are visible and easy to see before the patient swallows it. The capsule dissolves and releases the markers inside the patient’s digestive tract.
Uncover Gastrointestinal Insights in Three Steps
- Prescription: The process starts with a prescription for the SITZMARKS test.
- Capsule: On day one, your patient takes a capsule filled with 24 small radiopaque rings that will disperse throughout their digestive tract. Throughout the next four days, the patient can continue their normal daily routine without disruptions.
- X-Ray: On day five, the patient undergoes an X-ray showing the progression of the 24 radiopaque markers throughout their colon, giving you a clear view of their colonic transit and helping to identify outlet obstruction, hypomotility, or other bowel disorders as the possible cause of their chronic constipation.
