Gastroenterology

The KARL STORZ SILVER SCOPE® series offers three variants that covers the most common applications in the upper gastrointestinal tract:
Firstly, the standard gastroscope for the daily routine; secondly, the medium gastroscope with a greatly reduced outer diameter for routine examinations as well as stenoses and pediatric use; thirdly, an interventional dual-channel gastroscope for more demanding interventions, heavy bleeding and emergency gastroscopy. 
The innovative duodenoscope has been enhanced with regard to hygiene aspects and now includes a sterile single-use Albarran module (HYDOME® system). 
In the field of colonoscopy, KARL STORZ offers a selection of lengths – from the 40 cm rectoscope to the sigmoidoscope and standard lengths. The graduated rigidity and progressive insertion characteristics of the colonoscope insertion tube ensure optimal advancement. 

All endoscopes of the SILVER SCOPE® series offer the following characteristics:

• Three innovative visualization technologies for easy tissue differentiation:

    – CLARA: Homogeneous illumination
    – CHROMA: Contrast enhancement
    – SPECTRA*: Spectral color shift and color exchange

• Homogeneous image brightness
• LED illumination and air or CO2 insufflation included with the CO2MBI® LED light source
• Nine functions on three individually programmable function keys
• Deflection up to 210° with a small bending radius for gastroscopes as well as colonoscopes

The medium gastroscope for standard and pediatric use and in case of stenosis

• Elegant 7.8 mm outer diameter with 2.8 mm working channel
• Also suitable for pediatric applications
• Excellent deflection up to 210°

• For interventional and emergency gastroscopy
• Two working channels, 2.8 mm and 3.8 mm in diameter
• Additional water jet channel that is accessible for brush cleaning
