World leaders in breath analysis will showcase its Gastrolyzer® range at one of the leading international events for digestive health.
Bedfont® Scientific Limited, a world leader in breath analysis with 50 years of industry experience, is pleased to attend this year’s United European Gastroenterology (UEG) Week in Barcelona to showcase the innovative Gastrolyzer® range of devices. As a leading international congress for the digestive health community, UEG focuses on scientific research, education, clinical practice, and industry innovation. With over 30 years of expertise in hydrogen and methane breath testing (HMBT) with the Gastrolyzer® for gastrointestinal investigation, Bedfont® aims to improve awareness of its non-invasive breath testing technology for gastrointestinal disorders.
Established in 1992, UEG Week has become a leading congress for gastroenterology and digestive health, with over 11,000 people attending last year’s congress in Berlin. This year, the congress will be held at Fira Gran Via in Barcelona from 17th to 20th October. It will bring together the global digestive health community to share the latest research, clinical developments and innovations in Gastroenterology.
Jason Smith, CEO at Bedfont®, comments, “Improving access to effective digestive health testing is an important global priority, with more than 40% of people worldwide estimated to experience functional gastrointestinal disorders1. At Bedfont®, we believe breath analysis plays an important role in helping healthcare professionals investigate digestive health in a simple, non-invasive way. UEG Week provides a fantastic opportunity to connect with the global gastroenterology community, share knowledge and demonstrate how our Gastrolyzer® range can help improve patient care.”
For over 35 years, the Gastrolyzer® range has helped detect gastrointestinal disorders, one breath at a time. The range includes the Gastro+™, a hand-held portable hydrogen device, and the GastroCH4ECK® desktop hydrogen and methane device, which can conduct remote testing.
Joining the Bedfont® team in Barcelona will be Dr Jafar Jafari, Head of Upper Gastrointestinal (GI) Physiology at Guy’s and St Thomas’, founder of GI Cognition, and member of the Bedfont® Medical Advisory Board. He will be there to discuss his book, ‘The Essential Guide to Hydrogen and Methane Breath Testing ’, and provide invaluable clinical expertise on the stand. You can find the team at stand 29 from 18th to 20th October, where you can find out more about the Gastrolyzer® range and see it in action with live demonstrations.
