Now Offering CapsoCam Plus®, the Only Capsule Endoscopy System with a 360° Panoramic View
Gastrointestinal Specialists, Inc. is now offering CapsoCam Plus®, the only small bowel capsule endoscopy system in the world with a 360° panoramic view of the small bowel. Unlike other products, CapsoCam Plus requires no wires, belts or sedation. Patients simply swallow a capsule that takes thousands of images as it travels effortlessly through the digestive system. All of the diagnostic data is stored on-board the capsule.
As a result, our patients receive a convenient exam while one of our providers achieves a comprehensive view as the capsule passes through the digestive tract. When the exam is complete, patients can easily collect the capsule using a specially designed CapsoRetrieve® capsule retrieval kit and then return via FedEx in a pre-paid envelope to CapsoVision. It’s that simple.
