Highlights

The new HD video rhino-laryngoscope from KARL STORZ allows visualization of the nose, pharynx and larynx in HD image quality. Depending on the system configuration, the physician is able to use IMAGE1 S™ visualization modes or perform stroboscopy. This makes the flexible endoscope suitable for various indications.

• HD image quality
• Possible to use IMAGE1 S™ visualization modes in conjunction with the IMAGE1 S™ camera system
• Stroboscopy can be performed when used with TELE PACK+
• Fully immersible for cleaning and disinfection

For situations where the use of single-use endoscopes may be recommended:

• Highly infectious patients
• Clinics without in-house reprocessing departments
• Irregular use of flexible endoscopes 
• Backup for reusable endoscopes 

The new 2.9 mm CMOS video rhino-laryngoscope further expands the existing CMOS product line. The video endoscope can be used with the TELE PACK+ as well as with the C-MAC® Monitor and C-HUB II.

• Integrated CMOS chip technology
• 140° deflection in both directions
• Integrated LED light source
• Sensitive yet stable control with ergonomic handle

The CMOS product line has been expanded to include a further videoendoscope with a diameter of 2.9 mm: The CMOS video esophagoscope.

• CMOS chip technology
• 210°/140° deflection
• Integrated LED light source
• Sensitive yet robust control with ergonomic handle

The key aspect of endoscopic middle ear surgery is the rediscovery of the ear canal as a natural and direct approach to the middle ear. The wide view provided by the endoscope allows a minimally invasive approach to the tympanum and a comprehensive view of the structures to be targeted in middle ear surgery. The endoscope can be used to treat a variety of middle ear pathologies.

• Minimally invasive approach
• Allows a complete examination of the middle ear with the help of angled telescopes
• Photo and video documentation

Surgery in the ear region is complex and varied due to the multitude of indications in this area. From tympanoplasty to cochlear implants through to routine middle ear procedures – different instrument sets are required for each indication.

• Standard instruments for access to the middle and inner ear
• UNIDRIVE® S III ENT motor system with a large range of handpieces

One unit – six functions

The VITOM® 3D system represents a solution for visualizing microsurgical and open-surgical procedures in a variety of fields. Application options are similar to those of surgical microscopes. Key functions are controlled through the IMAGE1 PILOT, which is mounted to the surgical table in the surgeon's immediate workspace.

• Smaller, lighter and more compact than an operating microscope
• Lower acquisition costs and synergistic effects with endoscopy thanks to integration in the endoscopy tower – thus combining the advantages of endoscopy and microscopy
• Ergonomic work – the user is not confined to the eyepiece
• Improved workflow – the OR team can view the procedure in the same image quality as the surgeon

For intraoperative, early detection of abnormal tissue

Contact endoscopes make it possible to better visualize the tissue structures of mucosa thanks to 60 or 150x magnification which can be adjusted via the rotating wheel on the contact endoscope. This allows a more precise evaluation of benign or malignant lesions.

• Contact endoscopes available in 4 different models
• More precise optical evaluation of malignant or benign lesions
• Efficient use of contact endoscopes in combination with IMAGE1 S™ visualization modes
• Use of the vital dye methylene blue no longer mandatory thanks to IMAGE1 S™ visualization modes

Contact endoscopy is mainly used in the field of transoral microlaryngoscopy. KARL STORZ offers a wide range of instruments for this indication which, combined with contact endoscopes, enables appropriate treatment.

The use of an endoscope in transnasal frontal skull base surgery offers several advantages. These include a wide field of vision and improved light intensity which provide a clear visualization of deep-lying structures. Moreover, HOPKINS® rod lens telescopes with an angled direction of view (e.g., 30°, 45°) offer the possibility of a direct view of otherwise invisible areas, thus facilitating a surgical procedure under visual control.

The introduction of 4K video technology and 3D endoscopy provides good image quality in order to perform the procedure.

Bleeding in the operative field impairs the view of the operation site and can, depending on the extent of bleeding, pose a risk to the health of the patient. Only successful hemostasis – Surgical Bleeding Management – makes it possible to continue surgery and to prevent complications caused by poor visibility.

Handpiece for the UNIDRIVE® S III ENT motor system

The DRILLCUT-X® II‑35 handpiece, in conjunction with the 35k sinus burrs, represents an innovative addition to the KARL STORZ product portfolio and is specially optimized for the highest speeds.
