The Karl Storz 26175R is engineered for precision access within minimally invasive surgical procedures. With a 5 mm outer cannula size and a fine 1.6 mm needle tip, the instrument allows surgeons to enter anatomical spaces with minimal disruption while maintaining a channel large enough for necessary fluid access or instrumentation. The 36 cm (approximately 13¼ inch) working length provides sufficient reach through trocars or ports into deeper cavities. The Luer-lock connection ensures secure attachment to syringes or irrigation/aspiration systems, promoting fluid management or tissue sampling with confidence.

Designed for reusability, the 26175R supports cost efficiency and sustainability in the operating room environment. Its stainless steel construction and standardized dimensions align with the rest of the Karl Storz system, allowing compatibility with other accessories and instrumentation. The durable build is intended to withstand repeated cleaning and sterilization cycles, which is important for facilities wanting to reduce per procedure disposable costs.

In practical terms, this needle provides surgeons with reliable access for puncture, irrigation, aspiration or other interventions in laparoscopic settings such as general surgery, gynecology, urology or thoracic applications. Its refined ratio of outer diameter to inner needle tip makes it less invasive yet functionally robust, enabling smoother patient recovery and efficient intraoperative workflow. The standardized length and Luer-lock connectivity help integrate the instrument into existing procedural protocols, reducing learning curves and streamlining setup.

These surgical instruments are categorized as limited use and are in excellent condition. They may be new out of the original manufacturer's packaging or have similar characteristics indicative of minimal prior use. Despite their limited usage, they maintain an exceptional quality suitable for medical procedures.
