Evaluation of PillCam® Express Capsule Endoscopy Delivery System

"The PillCam® Express Capsule Endoscopy Delivery System is comprised of three parts: a catheter, a syringe and the capsule holder. The catheter is passed through the accessory channel of a standard endoscope and the capsule holder is snapped on to the distal end of the device. The endoscope is used to guide the Capsule Endoscopy Delivery System to the proximal duodenum. The capsule is then released pneumatically, using an air-filled syringe attached to the proximal end of the catheter.~Once the capsule is deployed, the endoscope is withdrawn and the capsule holder is cut off at the distal part of the device with scissors. The catheter is then retracted and discarded.~The PillCam® Express Capsule Endoscopy Delivery System is single-use, disposable and latex-free."
