Karl Storz Image 1 HD Laparoscopy Kit (Model: 22201020) – Complete Surgical Tower System
Upgrade your operating theater with the Karl Storz Image 1 HD Laparoscopy Kit, a gold-standard imaging solution for minimally invasive surgery. At Camjoy Med, we provide premium refurbished medical equipment that combines cost-efficiency with uncompromising clinical performance. This comprehensive kit features the renowned Image 1 HUB CCU (22201020) and high-definition camera heads, designed to deliver crystal-clear endoscopic visualization for Laparoscopy, Urology, ENT, and Gynecology procedures.
This system represents the perfect balance of FULL HD technology and economic value. With 3-Chip CCD sensors and digital processing, it offers surgeons depth perception and color fidelity comparable to newer, more expensive 4K systems, but at a fraction of the cost.
Product Overview & Clinical Value
The Karl Storz Image 1 platform is an evolutionary modular system. The core of this kit, the 22201020 Camera Control Unit (CCU), serves as the brain of your endoscopy tower. It utilizes exclusive 3-chip technology to produce images with natural color reproduction and high contrast, essential for distinguishing between healthy and pathological tissue during complex dissections.
Unlike standard definition systems, the Image 1 HD minimizes eye fatigue for surgeons during long procedures by providing a stable, parallax-free image. The system’s “Plug and Play” capability means that regardless of the specialized camera head attached, the CCU automatically optimizes settings for the best possible picture.
Key Features & Benefits
- FULL HD Resolution (1080p): Delivers razor-sharp images with a 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution via SDI and DVI outputs, ensuring compatibility with modern medical grade monitors.
- 3-Chip CCD Technology: The included camera head utilizes three separate sensors for Red, Green, and Blue, providing superior color accuracy compared to single-chip cameras.
- Digital Zoom & Focus: Ergonomic camera head buttons allow surgeons to control zoom and focus directly from the sterile field without an assistant.
- Parfocal Zoom Lens: Maintains focus throughout the entire zoom range, reducing the need for constant adjustments.
- Automatic Light Control: The system communicates with compatible Storz light sources to automatically adjust brightness, preventing glare on reflective tissues.
- Robust Durability: Karl Storz equipment is engineered in Germany and known for its longevity and resistance to autoclave sterilization cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the Karl Storz 22201020 compatible with rigid and flexible scopes?
Yes, the Image 1 HUB 22201020 is a highly versatile CCU. It is compatible with a wide range of Karl Storz rigid telescopes (laparoscopes, arthroscopes) as well as flexible video endoscopes, provided you have the correct camera head or video scope adapter.
What is the difference between Image 1 HD and Spies?
The standard Image 1 HD (like the 22201020) offers excellent 1080p imaging. The SPIES (Storz Professional Image Enhancement System) is a newer software iteration that includes color-shifting modes (like Clara, Chroma, Spectra) to enhance tissue differentiation. While this unit is the foundational HD model, it remains the workhorse for most general surgeries.
Can I connect this system to a Sony or NDS medical monitor?
Absolutely. The system features standard DVI-D and SDI outputs, making it universally compatible with almost all medical-grade surgical monitors from brands like Sony, NDS, Barco, and Stryker.
Does Camjoy Med ship this system internationally?
Yes, Camjoy Med provides secure, crated international shipping for medical towers. Please contact our sales team for specific customs and shipping quotes to your location.
