Karl Storz 2mm 0° HOPKINS II Straight Forward Scope 26cm WL Refurbished

The Karl Storz Hopkins II is a 2 mm 0-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-viewing optic gives a straight, on-axis line of sight suited to direct, in-line visualization. Instruments of this class are handled by general, gynecologic, urologic, and bariatric surgeons.

Key Features

• 0-degree viewing angle - keeps the line of sight straight down the shaft axis for in-line work.
• 2 mm diameter - a small-diameter shaft that reaches tight or narrow anatomy where a full-size scope will not pass.
• 26 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.

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
