Colorectal cancer is considered to be one of the most common cause of death related to cancer in world. In overall rankings of cancer related deaths colorectal cancer is placed second in the world. Colonoscopy is important tool for early detection of colorectal cancer and also to remove polyps in early stage. As colonoscopy advances, it requires highly skilled colonoscopist that requires significant amount of training without experience causes discomfort and high pain to patient. In this paper an attempt is made to simulate multichamber colonoscope made of silicone rubber. As traditional colonoscope consist scope that is made of semi-flexible tube, this results painful insertion in colon. This developed scope is highly flexible as well as soft and hydrostatic pressure operated.
