The Karl Storz 27026EF Albarran Deflecting Bridge is a catheter‑deflecting mechanism designed for use with compatible Storz rigid cystoscopes and sheaths in endourologic procedures. It features a control lever (Albarran mechanism) that deflects catheters, guidewires, or ureteral stents toward the ureteric orifice and two lockable instrument channels, enabling simultaneous use of working instruments and contrast or guidewires. With a working length of about 23 cm and integrated ratchet, it allows precise, hands‑free positioning during diagnostic and therapeutic cystoscopy.
Key features
- Albarran catheter‑deflecting mechanism with control lever for targeted ureteral access
- Dual instrument channels (two lockable ports) for guidewires, catheters, or small instruments
- Working length approximately 23 cm, compatible with standard Storz cystoscopy systems
- Ratchet mechanism to hold the deflection angle without continuous hand pressure
- Designed for urologic applications such as ureteral stenting, retrograde pyelography, and selective catheterization
