• Overall Length: 10.5"

Condition: Used

The Karl Storz 27028 is a visual obturator used in endoscopic and cystoscopic instrument sets to facilitate sheath insertion under direct vision. It allows the surgeon to see tissue layers as the sheath is introduced, helping guide placement accurately. The obturator is marked “27028” and includes “HF” designation indicating high-frequency (electrosurgical) compatibility.

Constructed of high-grade stainless steel in Germany, the obturator is designed to resist corrosion and maintain optical clarity over repeated use. Its shaft is rigid and well machined, and the tip (often “OO,” “OOLO,” etc. in variations) is shaped to protect tissue while allowing visualization. The HF compatibility means it may be used safely with compatible electrosurgical sheaths and instruments.

This instrument is intended for use with Karl Storz sheath systems and endoscopic setups. It is typically paired with a sheath (e.g., 27026 / 27027 series) for cystoscopy, resectoscopy, or urology applications. The obturator provides a clear visual channel during insertion, improving safety and accuracy.
