Our capsule services

Our Capsule Services

We offer two types of capsule: one designed to examine the small bowel and one for the colon. This allows us to check different parts of your gut comfortably and effectively, without sedation, hospital visits, or an invasive procedure.

 

Diagnose digestive issues

Capsule for small bowel

Your small bowel (or small intestine) is a vital part of your digestive system, nearly 20 feet long and responsible for breaking down food, absorbing nutrients, balancing fluids, and supporting your immune system.

A small bowel capsule endoscopy uses a pill-sized camera you simply swallow.

As it travels through your gut, it takes thousands of high-resolution images of areas that are difficult to reach with traditional endoscopy.

 

This test can help diagnose conditions such as:

  • Unexplained or hidden bleeding

  • Crohn’s disease

  • Coeliac disease

  • Small bowel inflammation

  • Tumours or growths

It’s a safe, non-invasive way to detect issues early, giving you and your doctor clear information to guide the right treatment.

Detect problems early

Capsule for colon

Your colon (large intestine) is the final five feet of your digestive tract, storing waste, keeping things moving, and helping your body maintain balance after the small bowel has done its job.

A colon capsule endoscopy is a small camera capsule that captures detailed images of your entire colon as it passes through.

Unlike a traditional colonoscopy, this test:

  • Doesn’t require sedation

  • Doesn’t involve any tubes or inflation

  • Is painless, private, and minimally disruptive

It’s an excellent option if you have concerns about colon health, such as:

  • Unexplained bleeding

  • Suspected polyps

  • Persistent bowel changes

  • A family history of colon cancer

High-quality images help us identify issues early, so you can get answers and treatment sooner.
