Karl Storz 2.9mm 30º Hopkins II Bettocchi intrauterine Refurbished

The Karl Storz Hopkins II is a 2.9 mm 30-degree rod-lens rigid hysteroscope used for hysteroscopy. It relays a direct optical image of the uterine 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 the cervical canal, often through an outer sheath. Its forward-oblique optic gives an angled field that lets the operator survey around the central axis by rotating the scope rather than repositioning the sheath. 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 gynecologists.

Key Features

• 30-degree viewing angle - angles the field so rotating the scope sweeps the view around the axis.
• 2.9 mm diameter - a small-diameter shaft that reaches tight or narrow anatomy where a full-size scope will not pass.
• 30 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.

Ideal For

• Gynecology operating rooms and office procedure suites
• Diagnostic and operative hysteroscopy
• Facilities performing in-office uterine evaluation
• Use by gynecologists
