Karl Storz 4.0 mm 30° Arthroscope with New Hardware Kit
The Karl Storz 4.0 mm 30° Arthroscope with New Hardware Kit represents a professional-grade rigid arthroscopy solution engineered for orthopedic surgeons and surgical teams performing minimally invasive joint procedures. Built with the renowned Hopkins rod-lens optics and precision German manufacturing, this arthroscope set delivers reliable image quality, optimal maneuverability, and durable construction.
Product Overview
This 4.0 mm, 30° arthroscope is part of Karl Storz’s legacy of rigid endoscopes widely trusted in surgical theatres globally. The 30° angled view allows surgeons to inspect joint spaces and anatomical structures at an angle, facilitating better visualization around corners and behind soft-tissue structures. When combined with the included hardware kit, the system becomes a full arthroscopic set — ready for diagnostic and therapeutic intervention.
Main Features & Technical Highlights
- 4.0 mm Diameter: Balances enough lumen for good light and fluid flow, while remaining minimally invasive.
- 30° Viewing Angle: Allows oblique viewing to inspect joint recesses, cartilage surfaces, and ligaments not directly aligned with the portal axis.
