Endoscopy
The endoscopic system has long been an essential device for diagnosis and surgery in many different specialties. Hoang Phuc Thanh is proud to be the official distribution partner of Karl Storz Endoscopy in Vietnam with a diversified product portfolio, premium quality and world-leading technologies.
Our endoscopy solution is built on the following pillars:
A modern endoscope must provide a brilliant image of hidden body cavities. The key parameters to be taken into account are light intensity, depth of focus, magnification, contrast and resolution. The introduction of the rod lens system according to Professor Harold H. Hopkins created the basis for optimal image transmission in endoscopy, allowing a highly realistic image of the surface and structure of internal organs to be produced. This lens system has been continuously advanced and still sets standards worldwide. The high optical quality and power of KARL STORZ endoscopes are a delight to all practitioners.
In addition to the traditional rod lens system, video endoscopes utilizing electronic image sensors (CCD, CMOS) positioned at the tip instead of an optical transmission system have become increasingly important. The company’s decades of experience in video endoscopy ensures that the KARL STORZ laboratories are continuously developing technological innovations.
Nowadays, industrial manufacturing generally means mechanical mass production. In view of the high demands placed on mechanical quality, however, the precision that lies in the hand of the master instrument maker is indispensable despite automatization. Herein lies the strength of KARL STORZ products. Critical reassessment of even the best outcomes are virtues that govern the development and manufacture of each and every product from the KARL STORZ company. Instrument design is also not left to chance, but corresponds perfectly to its functionality and ergonomics.
The fundamental advantages of endoscopic technology are based on the opportunities it presents for gentle diagnosis and particularly for patient-friendly treatment. Since its early days, KARL STORZ has developed and produced devices and systems for such procedures. Systems for endoscopic HF surgery, lithotripsy, and lasers have become standard equipment.
Through the innovative use of the latest electronic and micromechanical technologies, KARL STORZ treatment units offer maximum safety and functionality. Technologies such as touch screens and menu-guided operation ensure previously inconceivable operating convenience. Linking of the devices generates integrated system solutions that further increase convenience, efficiency, and safety for users and patients.
Modern electronics requires specially adapted software for top performance. Therefore, software plays a large and continuously growing role in KARL STORZ product development. It improves image quality in video systems, reduces system-related optical defects such as Moiré patterns in fiberscopes, enables the control of devices with unmatched precision, and facilitates their use thanks to user-friendly menu navigation.
In modern operating rooms, however, the use of software can afford even greater advantages. All relevant devices may be controlled from a central location. Simply bringing up pre-defined, stored settings can further simplify and optimize complex workflows. Fast and secure image and video documentation and transfer options as well as the integration of cutting-edge multimedia applications for audio and video communication are associated with additional benefits. These include transmission into lecture rooms and the professional support from a specialist who may be located thousands of kilometers away.
Endoscopy software is highly specialized and everything but a mass product. It is developed for its specific purpose by KARL STORZ software engineers and is subject to the same high quality and safety requirements as all other product components.
Karl Storz's product portfolio includes rigid and flexible endoscopy systems for various specialties, integrating state-of-the-art technologies such as premium 4K resolution, realistic 3D images, and high-end ICG fluorescent technology.
