MODULE OF ACTIVE TRAVEL OF PROBING VIDEOCAPSULE ALONG GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61B1/00 F03G3/00 F03G7/08 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical equipment, namely to devices for autonomous endoscopic probing of the gastrointestinal tract. A module of active videocapsule travel contains a case, made in the form of a rotation body, inside which an oscillating inertial mechanism, creating a cyclic alternating inertia force along the longitudinal axis of the case, is installed. The oscillating inertial mechanism is made in the form of an eccentric, installed on an electric drive shaft. On the external surface of a part of the device case made are constructive elements, creating a force of resistance, directed along the longitudinal axis of the case, different in the process of the module forward and backward travel along the gastrointestinal tract.

EFFECT: application of the invention makes it possible to extend the assortment of devices for endoscopic probing of the gastrointestinal tract.
