An in-body image capturing device (camera unit) with high reliability is suggested. A camera unit () includes an image capturing unit that includes a lens () and a first illumination unit () and is capable of being introduced into a body. The first illumination unit () and the image capturing unit are housed in a casing () that is integrally molded with an integral light-transmitting body () and an integral light shielding body ().

In-body image capturing device and in-body monitoring camera system

An in-vivo monitoring camera system includes an image capturing portion (camera unit) that is capable of being introduced into a body, a support tube () that has a connection portion (trocar connection portion) with a tubular tool (trocar) which is capable of being introduced into the body on one end side and has a joining portion (protrusion type joining portion) to the image capturing portion on another end side, a cable (camera-side cable) that is connected with the image capturing portion and passes through the support tube, and a control system that is electrically connected with the cable and includes at least a display device ().

In-vivo monitoring camera system

A camera system for monitoring the inside of a body, which is easily used and can be installed during a short period of time, is suggested. A drawing auxiliary tool () having a wire structure guides a camera unit () and a camera side cable () in which one end part is connected to the camera unit () from the outside of the body toward the inside of the body via a first hole provided on a body wall, and draws out the other end part of the camera side cable () from the inside of the body toward the outside of the body via a second hole provided on the body wall.

Camera system for monitoring inside of body and auxiliary device and method for installing imaging apparatus for monitoring inside of body

An intracorporeal-monitoring camera system provided with a support tube whose one end is introduced in a body, an imaging portion that is joined to the support tube in the body, a joining portion that joins the imaging portion and the support tube together, a cable that is connected with the imaging portion and drawn out to an outside of the body through the support tube, and a control system that is provided on the outside of the body, connected with the cable, and includes at least a display device. A slit is formed in the support tube so that the cable is placed in the support tube from a side of the support tube.

Intracorporeal-monitoring camera system, support tube for intracorporeal-monitoring camera system, and cable holder for intracorporeal-monitoring camera system

An in-vivo monitoring camera system that includes: a camera support tube () of which one end part is introduced into a body; a camera unit () which joins with the camera support tube in the body; a joining portion which joins the camera unit and the support tube to each other; a camera side cable () which is connected to the camera unit, and is drawn out toward the outside of the body through the camera support tube; a control system which is on the outside of the body, is connected to the camera side cable, and includes at least a display apparatus; and a cooling system () which cools the camera support tube to which heat of the imaging unit is transferred.

In-vivo monitoring camera system, and support tube for in-vivo monitoring camera system

A camera system () for monitoring the inside of a body (), includes: a camera support tube () of which one end part () is inserted into the body; a camera unit () which joins with the support tube inside the body; a camera side cable () which is connected to the camera unit, and is drawn out toward the outside of the body through the camera support tube; a control system () which includes at least a display (); and a string-like member () which directly or indirectly fixes the camera support tube to the body surface.
