Capsule gastroenteroscopy

Capsule gastroenteroscopy, also known as intelligent capsule digestive tract endoscopy system, is a device that has gradually been used in clinical examinations in recent years.

What is capsule gastroenteroscopy?

The full name of capsule endoscopy is "intelligent capsule gastrointestinal endoscopy system", also known as "medical wireless endoscope". The principle is that the subject orally takes a smart capsule with a built-in camera and signal transmission device, which moves in the digestive tract with the help of digestive tract peristalsis and takes images. The doctor uses an external image recorder and imaging workstation to understand the condition of the subject's entire digestive tract and thus make a diagnosis of his or her condition.

Capsule endoscopy has the advantages of convenient examination, non-traumatic, no wires, no pain, no cross infection, and no impact on the patient's normal work. It expands the field of view of gastrointestinal examination and overcomes the defects of traditional insertable endoscopes, such as poor tolerance and unsuitability for the elderly, weak and critically ill. It can be used as the preferred method for diagnosing gastrointestinal diseases, especially small intestinal diseases.

Four major features

The expanded field of view captures true color images of the entire small intestine segment, providing clear microscopic views and breaking through the blind spots of small intestine examination, greatly improving the diagnostic detection rate of gastrointestinal diseases. The safe and hygienic capsules are disposable, effectively avoiding cross infection. The capsule shell is made of corrosion-resistant medical polymer material, which is non-toxic and non-irritating to the human body and can be safely excreted.

Comfortable and free, you only need to swallow a capsule. The examination process is painless, non-invasive, wire-free, and does not require anesthesia, and will not interfere with normal work and life. Easy operation Say goodbye to cumbersome operations, three steps are clear and simple. Doctors can diagnose the condition simply by playing back the images captured by the capsule.
