IMAGE1 S™ – mORe than a Camera


The IMAGE1 S™ 4K Camera System is a medical imaging system designed by Karl Storz for surgical applications. It offers high-resolution 4K imaging, primarily used in endoscopic and minimally invasive surgeries. The system is known for providing enhanced visual clarity, precise details, and accurate color reproduction, which helps surgeons improve their precision during operations.

Key Features:

4K Resolution: Provides ultra-high-definition visuals (3840 x 2160 pixels) for clearer and more detailed images during surgery.

Modular Design: The IMAGE1 S system is modular, meaning it can be adapted for different specialties and upgraded with various components, such as fluorescence imaging or 3D functionality.

Specialty Adaptations: The system can be customized for various fields like ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat), urology, gynecology, and more.

Flexible Imaging Modalities: Supports multiple imaging techniques such as infrared (IR) and near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging, allowing surgeons to visualize structures like blood vessels or lymph nodes.

Color Filters and Enhancement: IMAGE1 S offers chromoendoscopy capabilities and various imaging modes like CLARA (contrast enhancement) and CHROMA (color enhancement) to help surgeons see different tissue types and structures more clearly.

Seamless Integration: The system integrates with other operating room technologies, including digital systems and surgical monitors, ensuring a smooth workflow.

The IMAGE1 S™ 4K system is a robust and versatile solution designed to meet the high demands of modern surgical environments, providing surgeons with the tools they need for better visualization and outcomes.
