Medigus said the camera is designed specifically for small-diameter disposable endoscopic devices, used in diagnostic and surgical procedures such as cardiology, orthopedics, gastroenterology, gynecology, otolaryngology, bronchoscopy and robotic surgery.

The miniature camera offered by Medigus is supported by the company’s digital video processing systems.

The second generation camera utilizes advanced technology, notably the TSV (Through Silicon Via) method which enables miniaturization and reduction of mass-production costs.

A dedicated 0.66×0.66 mm CMOS sensor provides high image resolution at 45,000 pixels.

Medigus said it will commence supplying camera samples in the coming weeks to US and Japanese companies which produce cardiology-related devices.

Medigus CEO Elazar Sonnenschein said they are excited to release second generation of disposable cameras to further progress the medical endoscopic field and the advanced technology provides the medical community and patients with safe, quality and cost-effective treatment.
