13991 YS Y-Shaped Irrigation Tube – for Flexible Video Endoscopes
The 13991 YS Y-shaped irrigation tube from Karl Storz is a device for endoscopic procedures, specifically designed for effective and controlled irrigation via the working channel of flexible video endoscopes. Its Y-shape allows two fluid sources to be connected simultaneously or facilitates switching from one source to another without interrupting the flow, thus contributing to a smooth and hygienic procedure.
This tube is reusable and designed to withstand rigorous disinfection processes and manual or mechanical sterilisation cycles in accordance with the protocols in force in healthcare facilities. The hose's robust design ensures good wear resistance, even with intensive use. The connectors are perfectly adapted to the Karl Storz range standards, ensuring optimal compatibility and secure, leak-free assembly.
The 13991 YS model can be used in a wide range of gastroenterological applications, including gastroscopy, colonoscopy and sigmoidoscopy, in conjunction with video instruments from the SILVER SCOPE® range . It helps maintain a clear view of the surgical field by facilitating the evacuation of fluids and keeping the endoscope lens clean during the examination.
It also plays an essential role in the administration of fluids for tissue irrigation or rinsing of the operating channel. It is particularly useful in contexts where hygiene and precision are essential to ensure patient safety and diagnostic quality.
Its unique reference code (13991 YS) allows for easy traceability and ordering for hospitals and biomedical services.
Thanks to its durable design, the 13991 YS tube can be used repeatedly without any loss of performance, thereby reducing consumable costs. Its seamless integration into the care circuit contributes to better logistical organisation and significant time savings in the endoscopy room.
