Highlights

KARL STORZ offers a complete instrument set for pyloromyotomy featuring instruments that are specifically designed for this indication.
Percutaneous pyloric knife with knife insert for single use:

• Optimal cutting every time
• Integrated ratchet mechanism allows the knife insert to be locked in 8 positions (1.5 mm steps) and extended to the desired length in a controlled manner in order to achieve the required cutting depth.

GEIGER Percutaneous Pyloric Grasper

• Grasping forceps for stabilizing the pylorus during pyloromyotomy

The instrument set for pyloromyotomy also includes various pyloric spreaders and graspers that are suitable for both percutaneous applications and for use with a trocar.

The pilonidal sinus is an acute or chronic inflammatory process in the subcutaneous adipose tissue, often occurring in the sacrococcygeal region¹. E.P.Si.T. – Endoscopic Pilonidal Sinus Treatment – proceeds in two phases. In the first – diagnostic – phase, the sinus cavity and the sinus tracts are examined. The aim of the second – therapeutic – phase is to ablate the abscess cavity and to eliminate the fistula². Both phases are performed under direct endoscopic control.

Special Features:

• E.P.Si.T. can be performed in an outpatient setting
• Ablation of the abscess cavity and elimination of the fistula under direct vision
• High patient satisfaction³
• Straightforward, safe, effective and reproducible method of treatment³
• Instruments can also be used to treat anal fistulas (VAAFT technique)

• One-piece sealing system for single use, now also available as a sterile version
• Available in sizes 3.5 mm and 6 mm
