KARL STORZ IMAGE1 S™

More than a camera – the IMAGE1 S™ platform 

Achieving optimal surgical results is the main goal of every operating surgeon. In order to meet this objective, the visualization and display of important and crucial structures during the surgical procedure is of paramount importance.

The rapid development of camera technology in recent years has resulted in a better view of the surgical field and a much wider treatment spectrum. This ultimately leads to better outcomes for patients.

New standards in resolution as well as technologies form the basis of this trend.

IMAGE1 S™ – a system that meets all requirements

To meet the greater demands placed on visualization in minimally invasive surgery and to keep step with the growing complexity of such procedures, kARL STORZ launched a unique, modular camera system on the market in 2013: IMAGE1 S™.

This system offers the user maximum flexibility to meet present and future needs. Benefits of modularity:

1. Needs-based procurement – A specific technology that is required at a particular point in time can be selected from the large number of available
2. Synergistic effects – all modules have the same control module so that computing power does not need constant and unnecessary This eliminates the need to procure peripherals such as monitors, documentation units etc. several times.
3. Gains in efficiency thanks to standardization – all OR rooms have the same technological basis, independent of the surgical discipline and
4. Future-readiness – whereas stand-alone systems are confined to the technology relevant at a specific point in time, the modularity concept ensures that the platform can be upgraded with new technologies at any This leaves room for divergent trends so that the user is never confronted with an either/or option.
