Endoscopy band with sigmoid support apparatus

An endoscopy support apparatus, comprising:

• a primary elastic wrap comprising a band of elastic material sized for placement around a subject's lower abdomen and configured to apply a selected degree of constant pressure and support through contraction of the band of elastic material across the subject's lower abdomen in order to facilitate passage of an endoscope;
• a closing mechanism provided at an end of the primary elastic wrap to secure the primary elastic wrap around the subject's lower abdomen;
• and
• an elastic secondary strap having a first, terminal end fixed to the primary elastic wrap at a left portion of the primary elastic wrap and configured to stretch left to right across a front abdomen portion of the primary elastic wrap on an exterior side and to removably couple at a second, non-fixed end to the primary elastic wrap at a non-fixed position to exert additional location specific compression to the subject's lower abdomen, wherein an additional degree of compression through contraction is adjustable based on a position at which the second, non-fixed end of the elastic secondary strap is coupled to the primary elastic wrap, wherein the elastic secondary strap comprises a tapered shape that tapers along more than half of a length of the elastic secondary strap from the first, terminal end to the second, non-fixed end.
