Karl Storz 13991 SS Reusable Irrigation Tube – For Flexible Video Endoscope Working Channels
The Karl Storz model 13991 SS is an irrigation tube designed specifically for use in endoscopic procedures requiring direct irrigation through the operating channel of flexible video endoscopes. Reusable and easy to use, this device plays an essential role in maintaining optimal visibility during endoscopic examinations or procedures, particularly in the fields of urology, gastroenterology and pulmonology.
This tube is designed to deliver irrigation fluid, usually a saline solution, to the area being examined or treated via the flexible endoscope. It fits easily into the endoscope's working channel and allows for controlled fluid flow to flush the surgical field. This function is essential for removing blood, secretions or small debris and for improving the clarity of the image captured in real time by the endoscopic camera. This allows the practitioner to work with greater precision while limiting interruptions during the procedure.
Its flexible construction, compatible with sterilisation protocols, ensures long-lasting and safe use. The 13991 SS is autoclavable, making it reusable in accordance with hospital hygiene standards. Its ergonomic design allows for easy connection to a syringe or pump system, depending on user preference. The connection is stable and leak-proof, enhancing efficiency and safety during medical procedures.
This irrigation tube is a discreet but essential accessory that perfectly complements flexible endoscopic equipment. It facilitates care while improving the patient experience by avoiding repeated manipulation of the endoscope for rinsing. Its role is even more important during delicate procedures where continuous visualisation is crucial, such as when locating lesions or performing targeted biopsies.
Compatible with many flexible endoscope models, the Karl Storz 13991 SS fits naturally into modern clinical practices. It is an indispensable component of any endoscopy kit, ensuring reliable, hygienic and easy-to-manage irrigation.
