The Karl Storz 27044AK is a rigid endoscope, typically used in medical procedures for visualizing internal areas of the body. Specifically, this model is a 4mm, 30-degree, telescope that is commonly used for laparoscopic surgeries, such as abdominal procedures or other minimally invasive surgeries.

The "AK" suffix typically indicates the telescope is designed for anterior viewing, and its 30-degree angle allows for visualization at a greater field of view compared to straight (0-degree) scopes, which is particularly useful in procedures where accessing tight or angled spaces is required.

Karl Storz is a well-known manufacturer of medical devices specializing in endoscopic equipment for various specialties like ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat), laparoscopy, arthroscopy, urology, and more.

Key features:

• 4mm diameter: Allows for small incisions in minimally invasive surgeries.
• 30-degree angle: Provides a better view of hard-to-reach areas.
• Used for laparoscopy: Common in abdominal, pelvic, and other keyhole surgeries.

This instrument is part of a broader range of medical scopes and surgical tools designed to improve the precision and outcomes of minimally invasive surgeries.

The Karl Storz 27049AK is a rigid endoscope designed for medical procedures where visualization of internal body parts is required, particularly in laparoscopic or minimally invasive surgeries. Here’s a breakdown of the model:

• Model: 27049AK
• Type: Rigid Telescope
• Diameter: 4mm
• Angle: 30-degree (provides a better field of view compared to a 0-degree scope)
• Length: Typically 18cm, but lengths can vary based on the specific scope and its intended use.
• Used for: This instrument is commonly employed for laparoscopy (for abdominal or pelvic procedures) and endoscopic visualization in minimally invasive surgeries across various specialties, such as urology, gynecology, and general surgery.

The "AK" in the model number typically signifies that the scope is designed for anterior viewing, meaning it’s angled to provide views from the front of a specific area, useful for accessing spaces that are otherwise difficult to reach.

Key Features:

• 4mm diameter: Ideal for creating small incisions during minimally invasive procedures.
• 30-degree angle: Helps in viewing areas from an angle, improving access and visualization.
• High-Quality Optics: Karl Storz endoscopes are known for their high optical clarity, which is essential for accurate diagnosis and surgery.

This scope, like others in the Karl Storz range, is part of a highly regarded set of medical instruments designed to improve the precision, safety, and effectiveness of surgeries through minimally invasive techniques.
