State-of-the-art urology is inconceivable without the diagnostic and therapeutic techniques of modern endoscopy. Cystoscopy, transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR), and ureterorenoscopy have become routine procedures and are continuously being improved by new technologies.
For all urological procedures, KARL STORZ offers complete solutions that combine sophisticated telescopes and instruments with perfectly compatible innovative and safe devices.
This includes HF surgery devices, devices for laser surgery, lithotripsy devices for destroying stones in the bladder, ureter, and kidney, rigid and flexible telescopes for procedures in the ureter, as well as instruments for gentle kidney stone removal and photodynamic diagnostics (PDD).
Instruments for urological and pediatric urology as well as flexible video endoscopes complete our line of urology products.
Laparoscopy in Surgery, Gynecology, and Urology
Laparoscopy, the inspection of the abdominal cavity using a rigid endoscope, has been used to assess abdominal and pelvic organs for many years.

ENDOMAT® SELECT
Basic Pump for Urology
Straightforward handling and applications tailored to customer needs are the major benefits of the new ENDOMAT® SELECT pump. With features such as new tubing sets, automatic tubing set recognition and integrated pressure measurement, ENDOMAT® SELECT offers additional benefits that make it stand out from other pumps for urology.
- Seamless integration into existing systems, e.g., the CALCUSON ultrasonic generator
- User-friendly handling of the pump via touch screen and easy-to-use accessories
- Individual selection of various software packages according to surgical disciplines and the integration of additional functions
AUTOCON® III 400
New Generation in Bipolar Resection
The new HF generator from KARL STORZ has been further enhanced and optimized, particularly with regard to the performance of bipolar applications. It therefore ideally complements the KARL STORZ systems for bipolar resection. Precise initial cutting and exactly coordinated power regulation enables the unit to deliver optimal energy for bipolar resection and thus leads to perfect results. Consequently, the new bipolar concept from KARL STORZ sets new standards in terms of effectiveness, economic efficiency, patient safety, and system reliability and revolutionizes the treatment of BPS and/or bladder tumors.
Special Features:
- Controlled cutting function and application of energy to the tissue with pinpoint precision
- Real bipolar system as current is returned via the electrode
- The high-performance generator offers the option of additional bipolar techniques such as vaporization and enucleation
- Maximum user comfort thanks to high-resolution touch display
Operating Cystoscope-Urethroscope for Children
For straightforward and gentle treatment
The operating cysto-urethroscopes with atraumatic tip and excellent gliding properties provide the operating surgeon with enhanced possibilities for diagnosis as well as straightforward and gentle treatment of the patient. The straight working channel and the excellent telescope significantly enhance the efficient performance of various procedures.
Special Features:
- Atraumatically shaped distal end of sheath with rounded tip
- Minimal sheath diameter
- Maximum irrigation due to the large, straight working channel
Video Uretero-Renoscope with the IMAGE1 S
With IMAGE1 S, KARL STORZ has developed a new FULL HD camera platform that supports urologists with innovative visualization technologies for diagnosis and surgery. By combining this platform with the flexible 8.5 Fr. video uretero-renoscope FLEX-Xc, the user benefits from excellent visualization as well as the high image quality of the video uretero-renoscope.
- Excellent image quality: Due to CMOS technology
- Extremely thin and steerable sheath: Minimal sheath circumference of only 8.5 Fr. and maximum 270° deflection in either direction
- Ergonomic handle: Integrated LED light source allows convenient work without requiring an additional light cable
- Easier access to the kidney: Direct implementation of hand movements through to the distal end thanks to high torque stability facilitates access to the kidney
- Modular camera platform: Homogeneous illumination, contrast enhancement and clearer tissue differentiation by shifting the color spectrum with the IMAGE1 S Visualization Modes
A New Generation of Pressure-Controlled PCNL Systems
The revolutionary MIP system ensures atraumatic and effective stone treatment with fewer complications for all stone sizes.
The MIP series features an innovative technology for intrapelvic pressure management. The special design characteristics enable optimal irrigation with excellent visualization and permanent control. Another significant development is the generation of hydrodynamic effects, the so-called “vacuum cleaner effect”: The innovative inflow and outflow constellation make it possible to retrieve stones without forceps, graspers, or stone baskets and to eliminate stone dust.
- Innovative pressure management: All systems from the MIP series are designed as open systems
- Efficient stone retrieval: The hydrodynamic effect makes it possible to retrieve stones without forceps, graspers or stone baskets
- One-step bougienage: Following a skin incision, bougienage can be performed in one step
- Versatility: The right instrument is available for every stone indication
The Thin 7 Fr. Uretero-Renoscopes from KARL STORZ
We Realize Innovations
With the new generation of uretero-renoscopes, KARL STORZ presents a future-oriented advancement in a new design. The even more slender sheath provides the instruments with excellent balance and ensures convenient and ergonomic work. A much smoother tapered step ensures excellent gliding properties and enables the surgeon to treat patients easily and gently.
- Minimal sheath circumference (distal tip 6.5 Fr.)
- Sheath with very smooth, long tapered step
- Excellent gliding properties for highest patient comfort
- Maximum irrigation flow thanks to a large working channel

The S-PILOT™
The Solution for Safe and Reliable Morcellation
With the S-PILOT™ system, KARL STORZ offers a compact unit that provides optimal conditions for morcellation in conjunction with the UNIDRIVE® S III motor system.
A functioning suction depends on the vacuum generated in the suction container. This can be achieved via a vacuum pump from KARL STORZ or through a central suction system in the operating room.
- Efficient and time-saving tissue following enucleation of the prostate via powerful tissue aspiration
- Intelligent communication between motor and suction system via footpedal for extremely convenient operation
- Straightforward, individual installation in existing motor and suction systems
Flexible Uretero-Renoscopes from KARL STORZ
The video uretero-renoscope Flex-Xc in the customary premium quality or the economical fiberscope Flex-X2S with twice the number of fibers: Both flexible uretero-renoscopes meet the needs of urologists for diverse treatment options in the day-to-day clinical routine and are optimally matched to user requirements.
The flexible video uretero-renoscope Flex-Xc features brilliant image quality with noticeably higher resolution and allows efficient treatment thanks to high torsional resistance and maneuverability.
KARL STORZ offers an economic alternative with the modified flexible fiberscope Flex-X2Swith twice the number of fibers. With a sheath diameter of 7.5 Fr., the instrument is also suitable for difficult anatomies and for use in pediatrics while offering true-to-detail image quality.
