Abstract

The present endoscopy is an uncomfortable experience because these instruments are great size and magnitude, generating feelings of discomfort to the patient during the operation. It’s designed a device to scale, allowing counteract this effect improving the mechanism of endoscopy, being this a more effective and flexible, compared with capsule endoscopy and endoscopy equipment present because will include a biopsy system for analyzing gastroenterological diseases or gastric cancers, with bluetooth communication for visualization of real-time space tract.
