The 27026OV is a 23 Fr metal obturator with a tapered, rounded distal tip that fits into the corresponding 23 Fr Karl Storz cystoscope/urethroscope sheath to create a smooth leading edge for insertion. It is part of the Karl Storz rigid urology system and is typically removed after the sheath is in place so endoscopic instruments or an optical telescope can be introduced.
Key points
- System size: 23 Fr, blue color code to match the corresponding 23 Fr sheath.
- Application: Assists in placement of rigid cystoscope/urethroscope sheaths in urologic procedures by reducing urethral trauma during insertion.
- Reusable, stainless‑steel construction designed for standard cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization cycles per manufacturer reprocessing guidelines.
