Simply use then Flushaway
With the HyStool® collection device there is no need to catch a stool on a piece of paper in your hand. No need to use a plate, plastic ice cream tub, egg box, or any other such unhygienic stool sample collector (as recommended by the NHS).
With HyStool® there is no need to put your hand inside a potentially contaminated toilet bowl to fit or retrieve anything after it has been used.
HyStool has been designed for stool tests such as the bowel cancer screening test or the IBD calprotectin test. Simply use our collector device and then flush it away. Our stool sample collection kit is biodegradable and environmentally friendly.
Simple and easy to use
Environmentally Friendly Solution
HyStool® bags are made from pva. pva – Polyvinyl alcohol, is strong, and completely safe for the environment. HyStool® is flushable. Our stool sample collection bags dissolve 100% in cold water and do so in minutes. HyStool® is safe to flush and is the obvious solution when it comes to the hygienic collection of faecal stool samples.
For use at Home or in Hospitals
HyStool® can be used as part of a home stool sample testing kit. Our hygienic device could also be used in hospitals, private health care clinics, or sold in pharmacies. It can be used in colorectal / bowel cancer screening tests, for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn’s, Ulcerative colitis, and any other condition where a stool test is required.
Being fitted to the toilet seat instead of being placed by hand inside the bowl HyStool® is more hygienic, reduces the risk of cross-contamination and ensures there are fewer test errors this in turn leads to more accurate results.
Bowel Cancer and Inflammatory bowel disease
It is our opinion that the low return rates for the bowel cancer screening test and many other medical stool tests requiring the submission of a faecal stool sample is caused by the lack of a suitable collection device being provided as part of the stool sample collection kit. Our stool collection device allows people to easily and hygienically collect their sample. HyStool® provides the obvious solution, and our simple instructions on how to collect a stool sample at home make the process as simple and hygienic as possible.
The issue of hygienically collecting a stool sample at home is not just confined to Scotland nor is it confined to colorectal/bowel cancer screening. HyStool® can be used for any medical test that requires the submission of a stool sample test including the calprotectin stool test, Crohn’s disease, Heliobacter pylori testing and Colitis.
Because HyStool® is made from pva it is small and flexible. It can be folded up so that it easily fits inside test kits send out by post for home testing kits such as the Faecal immunochemical test (FIT) or the older Faecal Occult Blood test. FIT is now an established bowel cancer screening test that looks for hidden blood in stool samples. This hidden blood can be an early sign of colorectal cancer.
