The PillCam Genius SB capsule endoscopy kit can be used both in clinic or at home,  according to a May 16 LinkedIn post by Raj Thomas, president of Medtronic’s endoscopy operating unit. The system uses a linked device to eliminate the need for a data recorder and sensor belt, allowing clinics to perform more procedures without being limited by equipment availability,

The PillCam Genius SB is an updated version of Medtronic’s PillCam, which has been used for more than 4 million procedures, according to the post.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
