Medgadget, the internet journal of emerging medical technologies, reported that the FDA has just approved the PillCam ESO 2, a capsule endoscope from Given Imaging Ltd. of Israel. The camera capsule will be marketed in the US by Johnson and Johnson through InScope.
The PillCam capsule is designed to view the inner lining of the esophagus. The capsule is the same size as a multi-vitamin, about a centimeter in width, so it can be swallowed easily.
