PillCam SB is the most widely used, patient-friendly tool for directly visualizing the small bowel to detect and monitor abnormalities. This procedure is the standard of care for small bowel evaluation, helping healthcare practitioners detect the presence of lesions and what may be the source of obscure GI bleeding, Crohn’s disease and iron deficiency anemia.
With PillCam SB, physicians can visualize the entire small bowel without putting their patients through a lengthy, uncomfortable procedure or having them undergo sedation. By simply swallowing a vitamin-sized capsule, physicians may detect and monitor lesions, ulcers, tumors, and bleeding within the small bowel.
Compared to previous generations of PillCam® SB, PillCam® SB3 offers:
Each component of the PillCam SB 3 system – capsule, RAPID for PillCam software, PillCam recorder DR3, and PillCam sensor belt SB3 – has been fine-tuned to work in concert. Together, they vastly improve image quality, tissue coverage and interpretation efficiency.
PillCam COLON is the only minimally invasive tool that gives your doctor a direct view of the inside of your colon.
As a form of capsule endoscopy, PillCam COLON uses a miniaturized camera, which is contained in an easy-to-swallow and disposable capsule. This video capsule allows your doctor to see your entire colon and assess its health—including identifying the occurrence of polyps.
Because it does not require sedation, air inserted in the colon, or radiation, PillCam COLON offers you a more convenient and less risky procedure than other invasive colon exams with highly accurate* results from a minimally invasive test.
