Imaging accessories developer Beekley has introduced a flavored beverage designed to mask the taste of oral iodinated contrast used in abdominal CT scans.
Breeza was developed in response to industry requests for a beverage to deliver oral iodinated contrast that patients would find more palatable, enabling them to drink the entire volume within an allotted time, according to the Bristol, CT-based vendor.
Breeza is sold premixed and packaged in 16-ounce underfilled bottles to leave room for iodinated contrast.
