Methodsįocus was placed on using open-source resources to develop the wireless endoscope to significantly lower the cost and make the device accessible for resource-constrained settings. The initial prototype aimed to replicate a 4-mm lens used in rigid cystoscopy.

We aimed to design an affordable wireless endoscope to aid visualisation during rigid endoscopy and minimally invasive surgery (MIS). The cost of this equipment makes technology transfer to resource constrained environments difficult. Technology currently used for surgical endoscopy was developed and is manufactured in high-income economies.
