SELFcheck Bowel Health Test Kit
Product Information
A simple and reliable home test kit to detect the early signs of bowel cancer. Contains 1 faecal immunochemical test (FIT).
Features
The SELFCheck Bowel Health Test kit is an easy to use and hygienic faecal occult blood test kit to detect hidden blood in a stool sample at home. Approximately 95% of cases of colon (bowel) cancer result from benign tumours called polyps that grow inside the colon. This means that this type of cancer is one of the few where early detection can help prevent the development of tumours. Polyps in the colon often remain undetected for many years until they develop into the cancerous form. If a colon polyp is found in time and removed, it can halt the development of bowel cancer. Early detection of bowel cancer is very important and everyone over he age of 40 should perform a yearly faecal occult blood test to minimise risks. The SELFCheck Bowel Health Test kit gives results within 10 minutes at home without the need to send the sample away.
Benefit
Early detection of hidden blood in a stool sample is a reliable indicator of colon polyps. Prompt detection and removal of polyps can help reduce the risk of progression to bowel cancer. The SELFCheck Bowel Health Test kit is specifically CE marked for self test use at home and has been independently assessed to provide reliable results and shown to be easy to use.
Warning or Restrictions
Keep away from children.
