Power Anywhere®

The UNIDRIVE^® SELECT is a multidisciplinary motor system with a modular concept that allows configuration according to customer requirements thanks to software licenses. This technology opens up a wide range of customizable possibilities and synergy effects in cross-speciality integration. In combination with the ENDOMAT^® SELECT (UP220) irrigation pump, which communicates via the new KS HIVE^® standard, the newest generation of pump technology is seamlessly integrated. 

According to the motto “Power Anywhere”, the UNIDRIVE^® SELECT motors and handpieces are driven with exactly the parameters required for the respective function and indication.. 

• Configuration according to individual requirements at any time thanks to software modules
• Modern unit design with glass front and touch screen
• Broad motor and handpiece portfolio 
• Compatibility with existing DRILLCUT-X® II handpieces

The popular multidisciplinary roller pump, ENDOMAT^® SELECT, has undergone a facelift and now features a gleaming new design with glass front. However, not only the appearance of the ENDOMAT^® SELECT has been enhanced.

The new ENDOMAT^® SELECT (UP220) boasts a new user interface as well as a new standard for unit communication, the KS HIVE™. All software packages for the various application areas of the predecessor model are, of course, also available with the new pump. Future new functionalities and updates will only be available for the ENDOMAT^® SELECT Facelift (UP220) geben.

• Used in transanal treatment and endoscopic vessel harvesting
• Compatible with S-PILOT® – the solution for your surgical smoke management

As an early pioneer in laparoscopy, KARL STORZ has consistently worked to advance the state of the art. A great example is the S-PILOT® modular smoke evacuation management system, with in-line filtration and options for both active and passive applications. Recent guidance from SAGES and EAES recommends “For MIS procedures, use of devices to filter released CO2 for aerosolized particles should be strongly considered”.
While KARL STORZ has not specifically tested the use of KARL STORZ smoke evacuation devices and SARS-CoV-2, there are data on KARL STORZ filters and its effectiveness against other bacteria and viruses.    
The filter efficiency of KARL STORZ filters was tested using the most common test methods with microorganisms known as “Virus Filtration Efficiency (VFE)” and “Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE)”. These types of tests are considered to be the most similar to clinical scenarios. A test aerosol with a mean particle size of 3 +/- 0.3 µm and a virus bacteriophage ɸX174 of 0.027 µm (at VFE) or bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (at BFE) were used. Test results confirmed a filter efficiency of more than 99.9999 %.^1,2
The Most Penetrating Particle Size is typically in a range of 0.1-0.3 µm. These particles are the most difficult to trap by the filter. The test aerosol DEHS (= Di-2-Ethylhexyl-Sebacat) with a size of 0.3 µm was therefore used for non-microbiological tests. A filter efficiency of more than 99.9994 % was achieved.³

The S-PILOT® with in-line filtration is part of the extensive array of KARL STORZ products designed in consultation with active laparoscopic surgeons. The complete repertoire covers the full range of diagnostic and surgical laparoscopic procedures for adult and pediatric patients.
