1. Product Overview & Intended Use

The 27069L‑S is a sterile, single-use, round cold knife blade specifically designed for use with Karl Storz working‑element sets, such as urethrotomes. It’s offered in boxes typically containing 6 blades, each priced around $30 in medical supply networks. The blade’s rounded edge is precision-crafted to make smooth, controlled incisions in urethral strictures without generating heat, preserving tissue integrity.

2. Design & Technical Characteristics

Featuring a ø3.5 mm round cutting tip and a working length of approximately 20 cm, this cold knife is optimized for fine control and reach in urological procedures. As a disposable blade, it eliminates the need for sterilization between cases, reducing cross-contamination risk and simplifying OR workflow. It is incompatible with high-frequency electrosurgical currents, ensuring it serves strictly as a "cold" cutting instrument.

3. Clinical Applications & Advantages

The round tip and precise edge make the 27069L‑S ideal for urethral stricture dilation or incision, delivering a predictable cut with minimal trauma. Its single-use, sterile format enhances safety and consistency. Clinicians value its compatibility with Karl Storz working elements, offering ergonomic handling and reliable integration into urological instrument sets. For practitioners seeking similar functionality, the blade is a practical, disposable alternative to reusable counterparts.
