摘要： An already-existing and general-purpose capsule endoscope for alimentary canal is enabled to be used to monitor a body cavity by directly diverting the already-existing and general-purpose capsule endoscope to a body-cavity-indwelling capsule endoscope in a simple and secure manner. An indwelling device for an encapsulated medical device of the invention includes a latching portion 203 which fixes a capsule endoscope 300 and a retaining unit 202 which mounts and retains a capsule endoscope 300. Therefore, the capsule endoscope 300 and the latching portion 203 are integral with each other only by mounting and retaining the capsule endoscope 300 to and in the retaining unit 202, and then the capsule endoscope 300 can be placed along with the latching portion 203 by setting the latching portion 203 to a desired region in the body cavity to fix the latching portion 203 to a body cavity tissue by endoscopic treatment. Accordingly, the already-existing and general-purpose capsule endoscope 300 for alimentary canal can be used to monitor a body cavity by directly diverting the already-existing and general-purpose capsule endoscope to the body-cavity-indwelling capsule endoscope in the simple and secure manner.
