Karl Storz 5.0 mm 45º HOPKINS II Autoclavable Telescope Refurbished

The Karl Storz Hopkins is a 5.0 mm 45-degree rod-lens laparoscope used for laparoscopy. It relays a direct optical image of the abdominal or pelvic cavity to a coupled camera head for display on a surgical monitor.

Rigid rod-lens endoscopes carry the image along a train of glass rod lenses rather than a fiber bundle, which transmits more light and resolves finer detail than older thin-lens or fiberoptic designs. The scope has no light source or sensor of its own: it couples to a separate camera head at the eyepiece and draws illumination from a light cable connected at the light post, and it is introduced through a trocar cannula. Its forward-oblique optic gives a wider angular offset that reaches further around anatomy and instruments without moving the shaft. A sealed, autoclavable construction lets the scope be steam-sterilized between cases instead of being restricted to chemical soak. Instruments of this class are handled by general, gynecologic, urologic, and bariatric surgeons.

Key Features

• 45-degree viewing angle - carries a wider offset to see further around anatomy and instruments.
• 5.0 mm diameter - a shaft sized for smaller ports while retaining a usable light and image budget.
• 29 cm working length - sets the reach from the coupling to the tip for the target anatomy.
• Rod-lens optical system - relays a bright, wide image through the shaft and holds detail across the depth of field.
• Light-post illumination - accepts a fiberoptic light cable so illumination scales with the connected light source.
• Autoclavable - tolerates steam sterilization, fitting a same-day turnover reprocessing workflow.
• Color-coded angle band - the black marker identifies the viewing angle at a glance on a crowded instrument tray.

Ideal For

• Hospital and ambulatory surgical operating rooms
• General and gynecologic laparoscopic surgery
• Facilities running tower-based HD or 4K camera systems
• Use by general, gynecologic, urologic, and bariatric surgeons
