A Better Way to Prep
ZeraFlow replaces traditional bowel preparation with about a 30-minute, clinically supervised warm-water cleanse performed immediately before colonoscopy.
71% of colonoscopy patients say the prep is the worst part.¹ For millions, it’s why they delay or avoid screening altogether. ZeraFlow was built to change that.
THE COMPARISON
Traditional Prep vs. ZeraFlow
| Traditional Oral Prep | ZeraFlow | |
|---|---|---|
| The day before | Liquid or Oral laxatives limiting mobility away from home | OTC laxative with no impact to daily routine² |
| Where prep happens | At home, alone, uncontrolled | At the clinic, staff-supervised |
| Time commitment | 24-48 hour home prep | Arrive 60 minutes prior to colonoscopy |
| Side effects | Nausea, bloating, sleep disruption | Warm water, minimal discomfort³ |
| Dignity | Hours spent near a bathroom | Private, supervised clinical setting |
| Prep adequacy | 30% inadequate prep⁵ | 93.6% adequate prep⁴ |
Three steps. That is all.
-

Take your tablets (the night before)
Three mild laxative tablets the night before. No liquid prep. Follow your clinic's dietary instructions. Just a light dinner.
-

Arrive at your clinic
Come in the morning of your colonoscopy as you normally would. Your care team takes it from here.
-

Complete your ZeraFlow prep
Designed to complete prep in about 30 minutes before your procedure begins.

WHO BENEFITS
Better prep. Better procedures.
For Patients
No large-volume liquid prep at home. No gallons. No disruption. In and out in about 30 minutes, fully supervised. Same-day return to normal activity (published clinical study).¹⁰
For Clinicians
Consistently reliable prep quality. Designed to reduce day-of cancellations. Cleaner procedures. Turn the prep step into a revenue step.
For Healthcare Systems
Designed to support higher screening completion rates by reducing prep-related avoidance, the most commonly cited barrier to colonoscopy. Fewer repeat procedures from inadequate preparation.¹¹
