Abstract: A capsule device with thermally-stable specific gravity control is disclosed. The capsule device comprises a capsule unit adapted to be swallowable by a human subject and an inflatable balloon comprising a thermally-stable effervescent formulation inside the inflatable balloon, where the thermally-stable effervescent formulation has a particular particle size between a first mesh size and a second mesh size, and the inflatable balloon is attached to the capsule unit. After the capsule unit with the inflatable balloon attached is swallowed, the inflatable balloon starts to inflate so as to lower specific gravity of a combination of the capsule unit and the inflatable balloon when the inflatable balloon is exposed to body fluid and the body fluid gets in touch with the thermally-stable effervescent formulation inside the inflatable balloon.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a capsule device with specific gravity control. The capsule device comprises a capsule unit adapted to be ingested by a human subject, and an inflatable balloon comprising an effervescent formulation inside the inflatable balloon. The effervescent formulation comprises sodium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate or both with excess citric acid and the inflatable balloon is attached to the capsule unit. After the capsule unit with the inflatable balloon attached is swallowed, the inflatable balloon starts to inflate so as to lower the specific gravity, of the combined device comprising a combination of the capsule unit and the inflatable balloon, when the inflatable balloon is exposed to body liquid and the body liquid gets in touch with the effervescent formulation inside the inflatable balloon.

Abstract: An endoscopy capsule having an image collecting capacity includes a deformable member configured to inflate when exposed to body liquid. The deformable member includes an effervescent material. When the effervescent reacts with water the resulting Carbon-Dioxide gas reduces the specific gravity of the endoscopy capsule. The capsule is contained within a shell or dome when swallowed. The shell or dome is configured dissolve in either a low or high pH environment.
