Karl Storz TIPCAM1 S 3D 10.0 mm 0° Video Endoscope – True Stereoscopic Depth Perception for MIS

**Camjoy** is proud to offer the expertly refurbished **Karl Storz TIPCAM1 S 3D Laparoscope**, an integrated video endoscope that represents the pinnacle of minimally invasive visualization technology. As a key component of the Image 1 S 3D system, this scope places the dual camera sensors—essential for **stereoscopic 3D vision**—directly at the tip. This design provides **Full HD clarity** and, most importantly, **restores natural depth perception**, significantly enhancing the surgeon’s hand-eye coordination and spatial awareness during complex laparoscopic, general, and gynecological procedures. The **10.0 mm diameter and 0° view** make it the standard choice for most abdominal and pelvic procedures.

TIPCAM Technology: Integrated Sensor Superiority

The TIPCAM design fundamentally improves image quality and reliability compared to traditional scope-and-camera-head setups.

1. True Stereoscopic Tip Vision

The scope’s tip houses two miniature camera systems, mimicking the human eye’s binocular vision:

• **Enhanced Clarity:** Eliminates image degradation caused by light transmission through the scope’s rod lens system, ensuring the highest possible sharpness and brightness.
• **Precise Convergence:** The dual sensors are factory-aligned to ensure seamless fusion of the left and right images, providing comfortable, accurate depth perception without causing eye strain.
• **Full HD 3D Output:** When connected to the Image 1 S 3D CCU and monitor, the system delivers high-resolution stereoscopic video, essential for detailed surgery.

2. Design and Specifications

The 10.0 mm 0° configuration is the workhorse of abdominal laparoscopy:

• **10.0 mm Diameter:** Provides the necessary space for the dual optics and integrated lighting components while fitting standard trocar sizes.
• **0° Direct View:** Offers a straight-ahead view, ideal for general surveying, midline work, and direct viewing down the instrument axis.
• **Rigid and Durable:** Constructed with high-grade, surgical stainless steel, designed to withstand the physical demands and rigorous sterilization cycles of the OR.

Clinical Impact and System Integration

The **TIPCAM1 S 3D** is a powerful instrument that elevates the capabilities of the Image 1 S platform to its highest therapeutic potential.

1. Improvement in Hand-Eye Coordination

The most profound benefit of the 3D TIPCAM is the natural return of spatial awareness:

• **Faster Learning Curve:** Surgeons, particularly residents, can regain natural depth judgment much faster than when learning traditional 2D laparoscopy.
• **Precise Dissection:** Allows for accurate gauging of the distance between instruments and critical structures, reducing the risk of unintended injury.
• **Suturing Mastery:** Complex tasks like intracorporeal knot tying become dramatically easier and faster due to the improved spatial perception.

2. Image 1 S Modular Compatibility

This scope is designed for seamless integration:

• **Single-Cable Connection:** Integrates all video and light transmission through one robust connector to the Image 1 S 3D CCU, simplifying setup and minimizing cable clutter.
• **SPIES Mode Access:** When used with an Image 1 S system, the scope benefits from Storz’s advanced image processing features (such as CLARA/CHROMA/SPECTRA, if the CCU is enabled), further enhancing diagnostic and therapeutic vision.

The refurbishment of a **Karl Storz TIPCAM1 S 3D Laparoscope** is one of the most technically demanding services in medical device repair, focused entirely on optical precision. **Camjoy**’s process ensures the **dual sensors at the tip** are in perfect alignment; this **stereoscopic convergence** is paramount—if misaligned, the 3D effect is lost or causes severe eye strain. We meticulously test the optical path for each sensor, ensuring no fogging, pixel defects, or image imperfections exist. We verify the straightness of the 10.0 mm shaft and, critically, test the integrity of the distal tip seal and the proximal connector seals against fluid ingress under pressure, guaranteeing the scope can withstand repeated high-level disinfection (HLD) or steam sterilization cycles. This rigorous certification process guarantees that the refurbished TIPCAM 3D restores natural depth perception, performing to the manufacturer’s original surgical specification.

By selecting a **Camjoy certified refurbished TIPCAM1 S 3D Laparoscope**, your surgical team gains access to cutting-edge stereoscopic visualization, a technology proven to enhance surgical efficiency and precision, while realizing substantial savings over new equipment costs.
