ENDOMAT® SELECT is a single roller pump for the irrigation or suction of fluids during surgical and diagnostic procedures. The pump can be equipped with various software modules, allowing interdisciplinary integration into a variety of hospital settings for indication-specific use.

Special features of the single-use tubing sets:

• Indication-specific single-use tubing sets
• Packaging specifies specialties of intended use
• Tubing cassette design allows one-hand operation
• Tubing cassettes coded such that the device only recognizes them if the corresponding software has been started on the device. Hence, the pump works only within the parameters permitted for a particular application.

• Integrated filament for gas heating (approx. 37 °C)
• Reduces the risk of contamination between the patient and the insufflation unit
• Filter membrane hydrophobic on both sides
• Tested filter efficiency
• Gas flow up to 50 l/min 
• Approved for the insufflator ENDOFLATOR® 50
• Product is sterile on delivery and is ready for immediate use 

The smoke evacuation filter set is used for the filtration and regulated release of smoke generated in laparoscopic procedures, reducing risks for patients and OR staff.

• Filtration of microorganisms, particles, and toxic chemical substances
• Tested filter efficiency
• Length 500 mm
• Male LUER lock connector
• Flow rate up to 8 l/min at 15 mmHg
• Roller clamp for controlling the flow rate
• Passive smoke evacuation
• Product delivered sterile and ready for immediate use

The KARL STORZ product portfolio includes loops for resection, incision, en-bloc resection as well as vaporization and enucleation electrodes for the prostate, bladder and urethra.

Special Features: 

• No return of current via the sheath
• Active and return electrode are totally in­sulated against all conductive components of the resectoscope and therefore also primarily insulated against the urethra
• No long-term wear and tear of the electrodes thanks to first-time applications
• Electrodes are sterile on delivery and are therefore ready for immediate use 
• Depending on the electrodes used, various techniques can be performed with the same working element

The new cleaning brush range for single use

KARL STORZ offers cleaning brushes that are custom-fit for all working channel lengths and diameters.

Special Features:

The design features 3 brush heads

Cleaning brushes for working channels 1.2-1.5 mm have no brush head at the distal end to make insertion through the working channel easier

The cleaning effectiveness/efficiency of the new KARL STORZ brush portfolio has been validated in accordance with the applicable norms and regulations for use with KARL STORZ endoscopes.

Adhesive discs for rounding wire ends

The C-MAC® S system combines the reusable IMAGER as well as the monitor with video laryngoscopes for single use. The advantage of single-use blades over reusable blades is that the risk of cross-contamination is minimized. This effect is enhanced by the fact that the blade and handle form one continuous piece. The IMAGER features a CMOS chip as well as a LED light source that can be reprocessed at temperatures up to 65 °C.

Special Features:

• Blade and handle form one continuous piece
• For direct and indirect laryngoscopy with original MACINTOSH blade shape
• For routine clinical use and training
• Standard MACINTOSH blades in sizes 3 and 4
• Hyperangulated D-BLADE for difficult airways

Special Features:

• Blade and handle with dirt trap form one continuous piece
• For direct and indirect laryngoscopy with the original MILLER blade shape in sizes 0 and 1
• For routine clinical use and training

The single-use scissor inserts can be combined with all reusable handles in the KARL STORZ CLICKLINE series. They are therefore suitable for both regular use or as a backup system.

Special Features:

• No long-term blunting of scissor blades thanks to first-time applications
• Inserts sterile-packed in individual blister packs and delivered in packages of 10 in a dispenser box
• “Single-use meets reusable”: Single-use scissors combined with reusable handles 
• Color coding for the identification of single-use components

Special features:

• Sterile covering for all conventional endoscopic video camera systems as well as some KARL STORZ video mediastinoscopes
• Elastic and waterproof material encloses the sterile telescope eyepiece or the sterile video mediastinoscope handle
• Available in two sizes: 13 x 242 cm, 18 x 242 cm

The single-use irrigation/suction tubing sets are used in combination with the reusable KARL STORZ irrigation/suction handles.
