A magnetically actuated drug delivery system for robotic endoscopic capsules
There is an increasing need to incorporate an actively controlled drug delivery system (DDS) into the next generation of capsule endoscopy in order to treat diseases in the gastrointestinal tract in a noninvasive way. Despite a number of attempts to magnetically actuate drug delivery mechanisms embedded in endoscopic capsules, longer operating distances and further miniaturization of on-board c...
متن کاملTowards a Magnetically Actuated Laser Scanner for Endoscopic Microsurgeries
This article presents the design and assembly of a novel magnetically actuated endoscopic laser scanner device. The device is designed to perform 2D position control and high speed scanning of a fiber-based laser for operation in narrow workspaces. The device includes laser focusing optics to allow non-contact incisions and tablet-based control interface for intuitive teleoperation. The perform...
متن کاملFrontiers of robotic endoscopic capsules: a review
Digestive diseases are a major burden for society and healthcare systems, and with an aging population, the importance of their effective management will become critical. Healthcare systems worldwide already struggle to insure quality and affordability of healthcare delivery and this will be a significant challenge in the midterm future. Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE), introduced in 2000 by G...
متن کاملPhytosome: Drug Delivery System for Polyphenolic Phytoconstituents
Several plant extracts and phytoconstituents, despite having excellent bioactivity in vitro, demonstrate less or no in vivo actions due to their poor lipid solubility or improper molecular size or destruction in gut. Drug delivery system for polyphenolic phytoconstituents (phytosomes) was prepared by complexing polyphenolic phytoconstituents with phospholipid mainly phosphatidylcholine wh...
متن کاملA Wireless Powering System for a Vibratory-Actuated Endoscopic Capsule
The evolution of endoscopic capsules, from passive tools to robotic devices, increasingly attracts the interest of the research community. In the past few years, significant progress has been achieved in the miniaturization of electronics and electromechanical systems. However, their use in commercial endoscopic capsules is limited by their power demands, which, to present, cannot be adequately...
