<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a medical device and a medical device guiding system which can improve the function of inserting the medical device into the coelom and smoothly passing the medical device along the hollow viscera, . <P>SOLUTION: The longitudinal direction of a capsule 3 to be inserted into the body is defined as an insertion axis, a magnet 8 magnetized in the direction orthogonal to the insertion axis is arranged at the center position, and the vibration (ON/OFF) switch 8f of an operation input device 8 is turned ON for a magnetic field generator 4 arranged outside the body. Thus, the magnetic field generator 4 generates a vibration magnetic field in the direction parallel to the insertion axis of the capsule 3, a couple having the line of action parallel to the insertion axis is made to act on the capsule 3, and the capsule 3 is made to perform a swinging operation around the insertion axis and smoothly advanced along the hollow organ. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
