A medical device, and related method of use, for supporting a patient's colon during a colonoscopy includes a wrap which embraces the patient's abdomen and defines a palpation aperture. The wrap is able to be seemed snugly around the patient's abdomen with a closing mechanism. The wrap includes at least one inflatable bladder which may be inflated to apply to a force to the patient's abdomen, thereby compressing the colon. The palpation aperture exposes a section of the patient's abdomen which allows that section of the patient's abdomen to be palpated during insertion of the colonoscope to verify proper insertion of the scope tip. |
