Embodiment approach 1

[0037] figure 1 It is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of the configuration of the capsule medical device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Such as figure 1As shown, the capsule medical device 1 of Embodiment 1 has: a capsule-shaped casing 2, which is realized by a cylindrical casing 2a and a dome-shaped casing 2b; The interior and other objects are illuminated; the imaging unit 4 is used to capture images of the subject illuminated by the illumination unit 3; the wireless communication unit 7 is used to wirelessly transmit the image data captured by the imaging unit 4 to the outside; the action control unit 8, It controls the operation of each component of the capsule medical device 1 ; the power supply unit 9 supplies power to each component of the capsule medical device 1 . In addition, the capsule medical device 1 has a plurality of rigid substrates 10a to 10e on which functional elements such as the imaging unit 4 and the wireless co...

Embodiment approach 2

[0071] Next, Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described. In the first embodiment described above, the molded body covering the functional elements was formed on the rigid substrate, but in the second embodiment, bubbles are also formed inside the molded body.

[0072] Figure 8 It is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a configuration example of the capsule medical device according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Such as Figure 8 As shown, the capsule medical device 21 of the second embodiment has molded bodies 22 a to 22 d containing bubbles instead of the molded bodies 12 a to 12 d of the capsule medical device 1 of the first embodiment described above. The other structures are the same as those in Embodiment 1, and the same reference numerals are assigned to the same components.

[0073] Such as Figure 8 As shown, each of the molded bodies 22a to 22d contains many minute bubbles and incorporates functional elements on a rigid substrate. Th...

Embodiment approach 3

[0080] Next, Embodiment 3 of the present invention will be described. In the first embodiment described above, the opposing molded bodies are surface-bonded to each other or the molded body and the rigid substrate are surface-bonded with an adhesive or the like, but in this embodiment 3, the opposing molded bodies are surface-bonded to each other by snapping Bonding or bonding the molded body to the rigid substrate surface.

[0081] Figure 9 It is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a configuration example of the capsule medical device according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. Such as Figure 9 As shown, the capsule medical device 31 according to the third embodiment has molded bodies 32 a to 32 c which can be snap-fixed instead of the molded bodies 12 a to 12 c of the capsule medical device 1 according to the first embodiment described above. In addition, in this Embodiment 3, the rigid board|substrate 10e has the protrusion part for enabling snap-fitting o...

Abstract

Provided is an encapsulated medical device including: a plurality of rigid substrates (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, 10e) which are connected in a string via flexible substrates (11a, 11b, 11c, 11d); and molded bodies (12a, 12b, 12c, 12d). The molded bodies (12a, 12b, 12c, 12d) are molded so as to coat function parts mounted on each of the rigid substrates (10b, 10c, 10d, 10e). The molded bodies (12a, 12b) are arranged between the rigid substrates (10b, 10c) opposing to each other and maintain an interval between the rigid substrates (10b, 10c). The molded body (12c) is arranged between the rigid substrates (10d, 10e) opposing to each other and maintains an interval between the rigid substrates (10d, 10e).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a capsule-type medical device which is introduced into an organ of a subject such as a patient to acquire in-vivo information of the subject and a method for manufacturing the same. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, in the field of endoscopes, there have been capsule-type medical devices that are ingestible endoscopes that have an imaging function and a wireless communication function inside a capsule-shaped casing. The capsule-type medical device is introduced into an organ of a subject such as a patient by oral ingestion or the like. Afterwards, the capsule medical device inside the subject moves inside the organ by peristaltic motion or the like, and takes an image of the inside of the subject's organ (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as an in-vivo image), and wirelessly transmits the obtained in-vivo image. sent externally. The capsule medical device sequentially captures in-vivo images in time serie...
