Given Imaging: PillCam Platform
Given Imaging is redefining the field of gastrointestinal (GI) diagnosis by developing, producing and marketing innovative, patient-friendly products for detecting GI disorders.
More Info: The PillCam video capsule is a disposable, miniature video camera contained in a capsule that can be easily ingested by the patient. The capsule transmits high quality color images of the GI tract that enable physicians to visualize the small intestine and esophagus. PillCam SB, the only ingestible diagnostic tool that allows direct visualization of the entire small bowel, became available in 2001 and has demonstrated superior diagnostic efficacy. PillCam ESO was cleared for use in the U.S. in November 2004 and provides a patient-friendly alternative for esophageal imaging. In 2006, the PillCam COLON video capsule for visualization of the colon was cleared for marketing in the European Union, and multi-center clinical trials are underway in Europe and the U.S.
