Karl Storz 27005FA Hopkin II scope 12° Autoclavable

Karl Storz HOPKINS® II Telescope | 12° Forward-Oblique | 27005FA

The Karl Storz 27005FA is a high-performance rigid endoscope engineered for 2026 standards in diagnostic and operative visualization. Utilizing the advanced HOPKINS® II rod-lens system, this telescope delivers superior high-definition clarity, enhanced contrast, and exceptional light transmission.

The unique 12° direction of view provides a specialized forward-oblique perspective, offering just enough offset to visualize anatomical structures that are slightly off-axis while maintaining the intuitive orientation of a forward-facing scope. This makes it a preferred choice for intricate urological and laparoscopic procedures where precision is paramount.

Key Performance Features

• HOPKINS® II HD Optics: Features the second-generation rod-lens system, optimized for modern 4K and HD camera heads to provide edge-to-edge sharpness and accurate color reproduction.

• 12° Forward-Oblique View: Provides a slight angular offset that is ideal for navigating the bladder neck or visualizing the surgical field during laparoscopy without the disorientation sometimes caused by steeper 30° or 70° angles.

• Autoclavable Engineering: Specifically designed to withstand the high temperatures and pressures of repeated steam sterilization, ensuring a long service life and compliance with strict hospital hygiene protocols.

• Ergonomic Stainless Steel Construction: The durable, medical-grade stainless steel shaft resists bending and ensures structural integrity during complex maneuvers.

• 1x Stryker Sterilization Tray: Perforated protective tray designed to secure the scope during transport and sterilization cycles.

Clinical & Institutional Advantages

• Superior Image Quality: The HD optical system is verified to provide a crisp, clear view with no visible cracks, haze, or "cloudiness," ensuring reliable diagnostic performance.

• Universal Compatibility: Features the standard Karl Storz light post connection and eyepiece, ensuring 100% compatibility with all major fiber optic light cables and endoscopy video towers (Stryker, Olympus, Smith & Nephew).

• Enhanced Protection: The included Stryker sterilization tray utilizes silicone cushioning to prevent rod-lens breakage, a critical factor in maintaining high-value optical inventory.

• Versatile Specialty Use: While widely used in Urology (Cystoscopy), it is equally effective for Laparoscopic procedures and General Surgery where a slight viewing angle is advantageous.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: Used — Great Condition.

• Maintenance: This unit has been well-maintained; the fiber optic bundles show excellent light transmission, and the proximal/distal lenses are free from scratches.

• Mechanical Integrity: The eyepiece and light post threads are in excellent condition, ensuring a secure fit for camera couplers and light cables.

• Sterility: Sold non-sterile; facility sterilization (Autoclave or STERRAD) is required prior to clinical use.
