Since its beginnings in 1945, the KARL STORZ family company has grown into a global manufacturer and distributor of endoscopes, medical instruments, and devices. We are no giant on an international scale but a leader in the things that matter: creativity, flexibility, and expertise.

Our range of endoscopic instruments for human medicine, veterinary medicine, and industrial endoscopy now includes more than 15,000 products. The most recent KARL STORZ developments are in digital documentation systems and comprehensive operating room concepts. As a system supplier, the company combines its expertise in endoscopy with software solutions to achieve integration in the operating room and to support clinical process and resource management.

The product range from KARL STORZ includes rigid and flexible endoscopes, instruments for the entire field of human medicine. Innovative products such as a fully digital video chain and KARL STORZ AIDA®, the central image and data archiving system, make for documentation that is convenient, comprehensive and high in quality.

With the KARL STORZ OR1™ a visionary OR concept for minimally invasive surgery of the future has taken shape: it is a fully integrated OR, centrally monitored and controlled, in which surgical processes and routine work are simultaneously streamlined and simplified.
