Description
Breeza® for Small Bowel Distention was designed by a radiologist to overcome the disagreeable taste and texture patients experience in other commonly used distending agents. There are two flavors: lemon-lime (item# 221) and mixed berry (item #222).
Breeza® for Small Bowel Distention is a non-carbonated, sugar-free, gluten-free beverage with a light, refreshing lemon-lime or mixed berry flavor and a viscosity of 10.5cP which is slightly more viscous than water, providing a better “mouth feel” and palatability for patients.
Researchers representing the divisions of radiology, gastroenterology, and biostatistics at the Mayo Clinic (Rochester, NY) performing an evaluation of patient tolerance, efficacy, and willingness to repeat the procedure found that Breeza® for Small Bowel Distention scored significantly higher in taste, ease of drinking, and willingness to repeat the drinking protocol than the barium sulfate solution.
