The VITOM® 3D system provides a solution for the visualization of microsurgical and open surgical interventions. Application possibilities are similar to that of the operating microscope*. The system is controlled via the IMAGE1 PILOT which is mounted on the OR table in close proximity to the surgeon.

- Smaller, lighter and more compact than an operating microscope**

- Lower acquisition costs and creates synergistic effects with endoscopy by using the same video tower – thus combining the benefits 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*

The C-MAC® System is a universal, mobile and holistic Airway Management system. No matter if single- or multi-use, adult or pediatric patient, normal or unexpected difficult airway, we offer you the solution that is best for your patient.

Hysteroscopy in the diagnosis and therapy of intrauterine disorders is now standard procedure in clinics and, to an increasing extent, in outpatient settings and private practices. Thanks to the miniaturization of the hysteroscopes, many procedures can now be performed with a minimum of trauma and without general anesthesia outside the OR. KARL STORZ has played a major role in this development and offers a number of "office" hysteroscopes with very small diameters.

Hysteroscopy allows accurate diagnosis of any abnormalities in the uterine cavity while 5 Fr. instruments often make immediate treatment possible. Narrow-lumen hysteroscopes enable procedures to be performed outside the OR without anesthesia or dilation of the cervix. Furthermore, hysteroscopy can be used to rule out any obstacles to implantation prior to IVF treatment.

- The CAMPO TROPHYSCOPE® with a diameter of only 2.9 mm allows an atraumatic primary approach to the uterine cavity under visualization

- The irrigation function of the ENDOMAT® SELECT provides an optimal overview thanks to the constant maintenance of intracavitary pressure

- Outsourcing diagnostic services and minor hysteroscopic procedures to the clinical outpatient setting extends the capacity of the OR


6 mm Intrauterine BIGATTI Shaver (IBS®)
With an optical system that features an outer diameter of only 6 mm, the Intrauterine BIGATTI Shaver (IBS®) is inserted into the minimally dilated cervix with the help of a tapered obturator. The 4 mm shaver blade allows the immediate removal of intrauterine pathologies outside the OR. The IBS® is an effective, precise and safe alternative to a conventional resectoscope.*

- No thermal damage to tissue thanks to the purely mechanical removal of polyps, myomas or placental remnants

- Resected tissue is immediately aspirated via the ENDOMAT® SELECT and collected in a tissue trap

- Minimal outer diameter
- Optimized procedure time**
- Enhanced safety, accessibility and patient satisfaction**

- The only fully reusable hysteroscopic shaver system

Bipolar 5 mm Office Resectoscope
In addition to bipolar resectoscopes with diameters of 7 mm and 9 mm, KARL STORZ now offers a 5 mm resectoscope. Due to its small diameter, this resectoscope offers the possibility to perform resection outside the OR. Infertility patients or those suffering from abnormal bleeding can thus be treated in the doctor’s office or clinical outpatient setting, even without anesthesia. Together with the AUTOCON® III 400 HF generator, effective resection, coagulation or vaporization is achieved.

- Minimal outer diameter
- Optimized procedure time*
- Enhanced safety, accessibility and patient satisfaction*
- Possible to perform resection in the doctor’s office or clinical outpatient setting, even without anesthesia
- Little or even no dilation required

- Optional use as a diagnostic hysteroscope in conjunction with semirigid 5 Fr. instruments

- Real bipolar system with current not returned via the sheath

From outpatient settings to the intensive care unit through to the endourological operating room, the new flexible C-VIEW® cystoscope covers various application scenarios in flexible cystoscopy. Additionally, the C-VIEW® in combination with the C-MAC® monitor, provides a mobile solution for cystoscopy.

- No separate light source, no light cable and no camera head required: Digital complete system with CMOS-chip technology and integrated LED illumination.

- Easier insertion in the urethra due to atraumatically shaped tip

- Expanded configuration and documentation possibilities: For connection to C-HUB® II, C-MAC® or TELE PACK+ for documentation and data management

The RICHTER POWERFIX® Set contains of inert implant material in combination with sophisticated instruments. This Set is primarily used for the treatment of both anterior and posterior cruciate ligament ruptures. Furthermore, POWERFIX® PEEK interference screws are used for refixation in numerous cruciate ligament reconstruction procedures. The RICHTER POWERFIX® Set is intended to provide both novice and experienced surgeons with instruments and implants that are straightforward, reproducible and mechanically impressive. Consequently, the selection of instruments and implants for the set was carefully planned and implemented.

Ergonomics and efficiency are gaining increasing significance in the daily OR routine. As a result, assistance systems such as holding arms are becoming more and more important. With the ARTIP® BASE, KARL STORZ addresses these very needs. A battery-operated holding system with autoclavable holding arm elements and the possibility of single-hand positioning.
