VANCOUVER, March 1, 2022 – Keir Surgical Ltd., a privately-held Vancouver-based Canadian surgical products company, is pleased to announce an exclusive distribution agreement with CapsoVision Inc., manufacturer of the CapsoCam Plus® video capsule endoscope.

Founded in 2006, CapsoVision is a Silicon Valley-based global medical device innovator specializing in diagnostic imaging of the gastrointestinal system.  Their flagship CapsoCam Plus video capsule system is a novel single-use ingestible video capsule that stores high-resolution images of the small bowel while moving through the gastrointestinal tract via natural peristalsis.  It is the only capsule endoscopy system on the market that provides 360° lateral panoramic imaging, overcoming the limitations of end-facing cameras.  The recorder-free design provides unparalleled comfort, convenience and freedom to patients.  For more information, please visit https://capsovision.com/.
