Whether GI procedures are performed in an endoscopy suite or in a standard operating room, with general anesthesia or with sedation, superior visualization and maneuverability is always crucial for gastroenterology equipment. In particular, gastroscopy cameras for upper GI and other delicate procedures require especially thin, highly flexible endoscopes to view the esophagus, stomach and duodenum. The working channel must be illuminated and essential camera clear at all times via irrigation to see even the darkest regions of the lumen.
Interestingly, demand and growth trends for gastroenterology equipment will continue throughout and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. According to recent data, the multi-billion-dollar global market for GI Endoscopy Devices is estimated at $30.1B for 2020. It is predicted that GI endoscopy devices industry will reach $41.2B by 2027, increasing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6% worldwide.
The micro ScoutCam™ is the world’s smallest medical device camera, 1.0mm including illumination. It has be selected by Fortune 500 companies for easy integration in gastroenterology equipment.
The tiny micro ScoutCam™ camera size enables a maximum working channel for GI diagnostic and therapeutic devices. This micro technology can be customized for procedures utilizing endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) devices, laparoscopes, multi-firing staplers, double-balloon endoscopes, as well as robot-assisted surgical devices. High-definition direct visualization is also important for cleansing the working channel — the technology can be integrated into direct-suction and evacuation devices that remove gelatinous materials and fluids during GI procedures.
Gastroenterology equipment providers can benefit from customized solutions that utilize clinically proven miniature cameras with full integration of the latest micro endoscopic camera technology and related components:
Integrated illumination allows for high-quality imagining while maintaining small diameter from 1mm in single-use and multi-use micro cameras
Patented system for integrated irrigation of camera head, reducing overall diameter and streamlining the endoscopic process
Waterproof construction enables a wide array of investigations in wet environments
Single-use design via integrated irrigation and illumination systems
Wireless transmission ideal for OR use via option for zero latency wireless video transmission – RF protected and resistant to magnetic fields
Tailored micro-visualization solutions for procedures requiring bronchoscopy are based on flexible “building blocks” consisting of the core in-house technology and complementary components:
Partnering with leading medical equipment providers, ScoutCam is refining the quality of health care through visual solutions that are less invasive and smaller than ever before.
