Design for a self-contained, maneuverable, endoscopic, video camera

Project Overview

Design a self-contained, maneuverable endoscopic video camera system that can be set in place and be maintained internally for post-operative viewing. This device would allow a veterinarian to periodically monitor a patient, thus reducing the number of invasive procedures. The client works with small animals at the UW Veterinary Hospital where he currently uses a rigid scope with an attached camera head and a Xenon light source to conduct surgery. At the present time, no device allows for non-invasive post-operative viewing of the abdominal cavity. We are interested in exploring the possibilities of designing an endoscopic camera that can be deftly orientated without compromising the visual capacity of the video camera.
