Veterinary Endoscopy

Animal owners are increasingly keen to ensure that examinations, treatment and – if necessary – surgery for the animal patient is performed as atraumatically as possible. Every improvement in diagnostic and surgical techniques made possible by endoscopy methods – particularly those that minimize trauma – represents progress for the welfare of both animals and owners.

In the last seven decades, KARL STORZ has amassed a wealth of experience in human endoscopy that few manufacturers can match. With this knowledge and
in collaboration with veterinarians at universities and at veterinary clinics and practices, the company has developed endoscopy systems for all areas of veterinary medicine.

Small Animals

In small animal endoscopy, KARL STORZ offers a large selection of products for various diagnostic, surgical, and orthopedic indications as well as for endoscopy in avian and exotic animal clinics.

Large Animals

The body size and other anatomic peculiarities of large animals require a highly specialized product range. KARL STORZ has responded with many specifically developed instruments.

Avian and Exotic

Due to their special anatomic characteristics, endoscopy is an ideal examination method for birds and exotic animals.
