Highlights

The HOPKINS® arthroscopes for TMJ arthroscopy are available in the diameters 1.9 mm and 2.4 mm. Furthermore, 0° or 30° directions of view can be used as desired. The rod lens technology of HOPKINS® arthroscopes ensures particularly high image quality and hence the best possible view. This is particularly helpful in complex arthroscopic microsurgery since the technique requires detailed viewing of internal joint structures. Again, custom-fit obturators allow insertion of the arthroscopy sheaths into the joint space as atraumatically as possible. Additional trocars are positioned to allow insertion of instruments into the joint. A series of instruments, such as grasping forceps, scissors, palpation hooks, sickle knives, and probes, can be used in the joint via trocars. HOPKINS® telescopes are autoclavable and can be stored, cleaned, and sterilized in purpose-designed trays. 

The ALL-IN-ONE TMJ Arthroscope has an outer diameter of 2.2 mm and an integrated 1.4 mm working channel. It combines a telescope, irrigation channel, and working channel and thereby allows arthroscopic lavage as well as arthroscopic microsurgery. Again, the arthroscope sheath is first inserted in the temporomandibular joint and then connected with the ALL-IN-ONE TMJ Arthroscope via the existing LUER lock connector. The arthroscope sheath features a scale that enables surgeons to track the insertion depth of the employed instruments. The palpation hook, scissors, and biopsy forceps can be directly inserted into the joint through the endoscope’s integrated working channel. The custom-fit tray ensures optimal endoscope storage and reprocessing. 

All required components, including the endoscope, are autoclavable.

Special Features:

35 W holmium laser for sialendoscopy

With the CALCULASE III, KARL STORZ is launching a new generation of desktop lasers on the market with an excellent price-performance ratio. Featuring a power rating of 35 W and optimized modes, such as the burst mode for reducing the repulsion of stone fragments, the laser offers everything required for successful lithotripsy.

• Improved performance of up to 35 Watts
• Enhanced energy spectrum from 0.2-4 Joules
• Higher frequency from 4-30 Hertz
• Optimized pulse modes
• RFID fiber identification
• 10" touch screen for ease of use

This special set of instruments and endoscopes was designed for the transnasal endoscopic treatment of obstructed nasolacrimal ducts under direct visualization with an endoscope. This provides optimal magnification and illumination of the indication field.

• No skin incisions or facial scars
• Shorter operation time
• Also possible to simultaneously detect and treat changes to the nasal cavity and/or paranasal sinuses

The set for microendoscopy of the lacrimal duct enables the opening of the lacrimal duct and thus restores the normal tear drainage.

• Minimally invasive intervention
• Direct visualization of the lacrimal sac and lacrimal duct
• Short recovery time

Minimally invasive treatment of the temporomandibular joint

• Arthrocentesis and lavage under endoscopic view
• Magnified and detailed visualization of the surgical field
• Working channel for the insertion of micro instruments for further treatment of the TMJ
• Documentation of surgical steps possible

Special Features:

• Easy-to-use control wheel, now with fin
• Light cable connector facing upwards
• Adjustable direction of view (15° to 90°) – less telescope changeover
• Diameter 4 mm, length 18 cm
• Lightweight construction and modern design
• Suitable wire tray for the storage and reprocessing of telescopes
• Standard eyepiece fits all camera heads

Endoscope-assisted non-surgical endodontic therapy

Special Features:

• Apical portions of the root canals can be viewed
• Allows endoscopy of the endodontic system of all tooth types, including molars
• Documentation possible via the Tele Pack X LED System
