MEDCAM® and ENDOCAM® constitute the next generation of endoscopy capsule and long endoscopy technological products. These are disrupting tools for various categories of doctors (e.g., gastroenterologists, gynaecologists, pulmonologists), which will massively improve the efficiency of catheter related medical operations, increasing the operation’s success potential, and enhancing the prevention, pre-operation, and post-operation stages.

Today, most of minimally invasive surgical procedures include rigid endoscopes based on a rod-lens optical system, making them quite rigid, expensive, and fragile.
Hence, the market is urgently looking for new visualization technologies with miniaturization being the main future market driver. Thus, advanced endoscope solutions (long endoscopy, capsuled endoscopy) were developed. But, on one hand, long endoscopy equipment is very expensive (up to €30,000) and complex and on the other, capsule endoscopy faces specific technical (bulky, encumbering belt transmission systems are required, low resolution images, clinical issues) and commercial (limited reimbursement) problems.

Having identified these market gaps, we developed MEDCAM® to revolutionize the medical industry. We managed to introduce a pioneering technology of ultra-thin flexible hybrid multilayer microcircuits technology into endoscopic devices, enabling to integrate visualization structures (e.g., cameras) up to 10-20 times smaller than existing FCB technologies. The result is two highly cost competitive innovative final endoscopy products, for long (a portable device e.g., mobile phone is needed) and capsuled pill (six times smaller, 2-3 times cheaper for public health institutes) endoscopy.

With MEDCAM®, we aim to disrupt the endoscopic devices industry by offering a pioneering technology. Our innovation is solution, smallest and lightest than anything else in the industry, completely painless and cost efficient for the public health services. endoscope products:
