Veterinary Medicine



Animal owners are increasingly concerned with quality of medical care they can find. In many cases, they expect the same sophisticated diagnostic and surgical techniques for their animals that are available to humans. Every improvement in diagnostic and therapeutic technique - particularly those that minimize trauma, and return animals more rapidly to normal health - represents progress for the welfare of both animals and people.

KARL STORZ offers endoscopy systems for all areas of veterinary medicine, developed in collaboration with veterinarians at universities, private practices and research centers.



Multipurpose Telescope for small animals

Endoscopic technology today allows direct optically controlled access to numerous internal organs without surgical intervention.

The approaches are either through natural bodily openings or can be created by means of small incisions.

With the HOPKINS® Telescope 64018 BSA, a universal telescope is available which, supplemented by the instrument set presented here, allows a full range of endoscopic applications.

Applications:
rhinoscopy, laryngoscopy, bronchoscopy, otoscopy, cystoscopy, laparoscopy, thoracoscopy, coelisoscopy, arthroscopy, colonoscopy, birdendoscopy.

Arthroscopy for large animals

Arthroscopy is indispensable in the field of equine orthopedics. With a relatively simple instrument set it is possible to perform diagnostic procedures, which yield information about the location and extent of articular trauma as well as the staging of degenerative joint diseases. Small cartilage defects, synovial hypertrophy, and osteochondrosis can be detected and treated in a single procedure.

Arthroscopy reduces operative time and trauma, enabling the patient to return to normal activity much sooner than with traditional arthrotomy. By distending the joint with fluid or gas, all areas of the articular cartilage can be accessed and debrided under endoscopic visualization.

The basic set includes the following telescope and instruments, as well as an endovideo camera, light source and fiberoptic light cable (see "DOCUMENTATION").

Videoendoscopes

In large animal medicine, flexible endoscopes are a standard component of diagnostic equipment. They are particularly useful for differentiating among disease processes in the upper respiratory tract and gastrointestinal tract.

KARL STORZ´s new video endoscope range sets new standards for image quality. Utilization of the very latest in digital processing technology, high resolution CCD chips, and an enhanced optical system results in endoscopes that produce images with unique clarity.

KARL STORZ recommends Videoendoscopes with 1.80 m and 2.50 m length for bronchoscopy and 3 m and 3.25 m length for gastroscopy in horses.
