Medigus Announces World's Smallest Video Camera

Posted on May 6, 2011

Medigus Ltd. announced it has developed the world's smallest video camera. The tiny camera is just 0.99 mm in diameter. Medigus says the tiny cameras are designed specifically for small-diameter disposable endoscopic devices. It is to be used in diagnostic and surgical procedures in regions of the anatomy where larger scopes are not viable. The tiny camera is compared to a pen and a dime in the photograph above.

Dr. Elazar Sonnenschein, CEO for Medigus Ltd., said in a statement, "Medical procedures that have not been possible until now become possible with the world's smallest camera. The advanced technology provides the medical community and patients with safe, quality and cost-effective treatment."
