Abstract

A device and method for illuminating, viewing and monitoring internal body surfaces without an external attachment is disclosed. The present device includes a housing that is suitable for swallowing by the patient or by placement with an endoscope, either through the working lumen or attached to the endoscope. The device has an optical or sensor element coupled to the housing that can be used for illuminating, visualizing or monitoring a body surface. A power source may be located in the housing to provide power to the optical or sensor element. The device may be secured to the body using securement elements.
