Since 2001 wireless capsular endoscopy plays an important role in the endoscopic field. However, commercially endoscopic capsules move passively relying on natural peristalsis, therefore they cannot be controlled, steered or stopped by the endoscopist. This paper presents a new concept of innovative active endoscopic device, being 11 mm in diameter and 31 mm in length, with a force controlled stopping mechanism for esophageal inspection. Since the capsular esophageal transit time is in the order of few seconds, this stopping mechanism will be suddenly released under user command as the capsule passes by interesting locations, enabling an effective inspections of the esophagus.
