Designed to allow safe and controlled instrument passage into the abdominal cavity during minimally invasive surgery. These cannulas typically include an integrated valve—such as a multifunction or sealing valve—to maintain pneumoperitoneum and prevent gas leakage when instruments are inserted or withdrawn. The cannula is rigid, durable, and engineered from high‑quality surgical stainless steel or medical‑grade materials consistent with Karl Storz’s laparoscopic instrumentation standards.
Key Features
-
Integrated Valve System
Many Karl Storz cannulas include a multifunction or sealing valve, designed to maintain insufflation pressure and prevent gas escape when instruments are passed through the port. -
Rigid, Reusable Construction
The cannula is a rigid, reusable access port, optimized for durability and repeated sterilization cycles. -
Secure Instrument Passage
Provides stable access for laparoscopic tools while minimizing trauma to the incision site and maintaining seal integrity. -
Available in Multiple Diameters (Commonly 10–13 mm)
Example size: 10 mm laparoscopic cannula with valve (rigid, reusable).
Another example: 13 mm cannula with multifunction valve as part of a trocar/cannula system. -
Compatible with Karl Storz Trocar Systems
Many cannulas pair with Storz obturators (pyramidal or blunt) designed for secure and smooth insertion.
