Sedation-Free Robotically Controlled Capsule Endoscopy
Conventional gastroscopy allows for the accurate localization of lesions and is the most effective diagnostic modality for
gastric diseases. Unfortunately, it is invasive and uncomfortable without sedation, which leads to low patient compliance.
Sedation can improve patient compliance, but its cost has been a major concern, as well as discomfort and
anesthesia-related adverse events that are encountered in a few patients after the procedure.1
Traditional capsule endoscopy is propelled by natural motility and gravity of the digestive tract, including the stomach. These limitations have traditionally prevented complete visualization of the gastric cavity.
Navicam® Stomach Capsule Endoscopy System
Introducing the NaviCam® Stomach Capsule System, an advanced technology that combines magnetic control with innovative and intelligent software to give medical practitioners external robotic control of the capsule inside the human body. The minimally invasive procedure with NaviCam® can be guided in real-time in five dimensions (two rotational and three translational planes) by an operator from either a control console or remote console.
In a large, prospective, multicenter blinded study, the NaviCam® Stomach System was shown to be a safe method of visualizing the gastric mucosa through remote magnetic manipulation without the need for intubation or sedation.2
The NaviCam® Stomach System can be used in clinics and hospitals, including the ER setting.
The First 360° Robotic-Controlled Stomach Capsule-
Revolutionizing Capsule Endoscopy
The system incorporates three-dimension translational and two-dimension rotational control to guide precise movement of the capsule inside stomach. Operator can guide the motion of the capsule to control up, down, forward, backward, left, right, tilt, rotate, and jump.
