This saves time, improves control and provides outstanding support for the surgeon when carrying out interventions.

The new generation of Laparoscopes. Bright. Clear. True. Richard Wolf raises the quality of laparoscopic images to a higher level with the new telescope generation PANOVIEW ULTRA. The improved depth of field and luminous intensity of the new laparoscopy telescopes impress with natural colors and a modern ultra HD quality.

The new technique in pediatric surgery. Single-channel Laparo-Endoscopic Varicocele Dissection (LEVD) is a new surgical procedure in pediatric surgery. The "scarless" intervention is associated with the reduction of surgical trauma and is carried out as an outpatient procedure.

The Laparoscopic Toolbox – the laparoscopic instrument system for individual, interdisciplinary application. ERAGONmodular offers users a wide range of options to put together their individual laparoscopic instrument set. Ergonomic handles, all diameters relevant to the routine requirements of medical practice, effective working lengths, and a range of jaw sections can be combined as necessary.

Specially designed for the MILOS Method. The light tube for the MILOS Method (Mini Less Open Sublay Method) has been developed in cooperation with Dr. med. Wolfgang Reinpold, head of the Department of Surgery at the Wilhelmsburger Hospital Groß-Sand, Hamburg, especially for laparoscopically-assisted treatment of abdominal-wall / incisional hernias.

New Instrument Set for Minilaparoscopy. The new generation of three-part, modular 3.5 mm instruments was developed on the basis of the successful ERAGONmodular concept and these instruments meet the highest hygienic standards. The proven click-it system permits simple assembly and disassembly, and is fully compatible with the ERAGONmodular series and the new ERAGONaxial handle.

Bipolar forceps and scissors system. Modular, ergonomic and safe – consistent compliance with these requirements is ensured through the modular ERAGONbipolar system. The proven click-it lock technology permits particularly simple assembly and disassembly, and it also allows the use of a wide range of jaw sections. The special interior joint mechanism prevents tissue or fine structures from being pinched. Complete insulation in the area of the joint mechanism also enhances safe operation. Coagulation only takes place where necessary.

New benchmarks in Single-Port Surgery. The innovative single-port technology can now also be used for standard interventions. Alongside surgery, this technique can be applied in gynecology and urology. The innovative complete system opens up fantastic technical and economic perspectives. The reusable character of the KeyPort-System eliminates discussions about additional costs. Modular structure. Simple introduction and securely anchored. The KeyPort silicone seal insert enables all instrument diameters to be accommodated.

When ergonomic design and intuition come together. The ERAGONaxial handle version is now supplied to expand the tried and tested modular forceps and scissor system ERAGONmodular which has an impressive track record in many different surgical applications. ERAGONaxial combines the advantages of the existing ERAGON handle concept, such as wide contact surfaces, optimum control of the rotatable knob, precise grasp and secure hold, with a surgical ratchet.

The world’s first dismantlable video mediastinoscope.
Richard Wolf is supplying the world’s first dismantlable solution in the market with the new spreadable video mediastinoscope. A simple twist of the wrist enables this instrument to be dismantled into its constituent elements for optimum reprocessing. Complemented by the elegant haptic design and the integrated endoscope, this mediastinoscope offers users and hygiene personnel optimum prerequisites.

The future of diagnostic thoracoscopy .
This all-in-one instrument set for single-port thoracoscopy permits minimally invasive diagnostic procedures to be carried out in the thoracic area with just one small puncture. The semi-flexible operating laparoscope with integrated working channel forms the basis of the instrument. Various instruments can be introduced through this working channel or liquid can be suctioned off. Suctioning liquid even works when the instrument set has been inserted.

Ergonomic and functional .
Richard Wolf offers a wide range of combination options with its VATS Instrument Set. Trocar sheaths, instruments and endoscopes in different diameters and lengths. From the smallest trocar sleeve at 5.5 mm to the oval sheath with a lumen of 12 x 16 mm, ideal for use with a retrieval bag or stapler. Endoscopes especially designed for thoracic surgery with a 50° direction of view give users optimum visualization with a comfortable working position.

Bipolar Forceps for Biopsy Excisions in Rigid Bronchoscopy .
During interventional procedures, heavy bleeding can occur and requires quick action and a skilled hand to control it. Perfect cutting quality during tissue sampling is made possible with the ERAGONbipolar’s double-action and large, sharp-edged, spoon jaws. During tissue removal, bipolar energy can be applied instantly to stop unexpected bleeding. With the jaws closed, the instrument may also be used as a standard coagulation probe. A neutral pad is not required when using bipolar energy.

Articulating Forceps for Rigid Bronchoscopy .
The new articulating forceps were created to meet the needs of today’s interventional bronchoscopist and come in three different jaw types. They were designed especially to complement the TEXAS bronchoscopes and tracheoscopes, which offer the user to work under direct endoscopic visualization.

All three models include a 360° rotatable shaft, offering users a truly multi-functional instrument with the capability to adjust and lock the angle of the jaw opening.

Loading and deploying silicone stents – under optical control .
The simple handling of the new stent loading system is only one of many advantages of this system. It allows silicone stents of different sizes and shapes to be loaded with minimal effort into a rigid tracheoscope. This new stent loading system is suited for optimal use with the optical TEXAS bronchoscope together with the 300 mm working length tracheoscope tubes specially designed for interventional procedures.

The first optically fully integrated, rigid bronchoscope.
The optically fully-integrated rigid "TEXAS" Bronchoscope was developed in cooperation with Dr. Garrett Walsh*. This instrument is used for diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopy, for interventions such as biopsy, tumor resection, removal of foreign bodies, and insertion or removal of stents. The key factor with these techniques is to ensure that the working channel of the bronchoscope is as large as possible.

Precise and selective removal.
Work in interventional bronchoscopy is carried out in conditions with very narrow lumens. This is therefore an area where every usable centimeter is helpful. Exophytic tumors often close off the main bronchi. If patients present with this kind of clinical picture, an experienced bronchoscopist is capable of carrying out tissue ablation. Alongside the existing methods applied for endobronchial ablation, these resections can be carried out effortlessly with the new shaver blades.

Diagnostic Auto Fluorescence Endoscopy in the bronchial area .
The Autofluorescence endoscopy is an imaging procedure for early diagnosis of cancerous changes, for example in the bronchial area. It offers physicians the advantage of being able to provide earlier and better diagnosis of malignant changes.
The DAFE System was primarily developed for early diagnosis of cancer in the bronchial area but it is now the method of choice for assessing the spread of tumors.

One System – A Wealth of Options. Graftline, the newly designed instrument and implant system from Richard Wolf provides the versatile, medical platform for successful reconstruction of anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments. Modular structure, diversity and universality. Graftline offers highly specialized, partly patented technology for an enormous range of surgical opportunities.

Perfectly designed for the specific, anatomical characteristics of the hip joint . Arthroscopy has been a tool in standard orthopedic operations on many joints, for example the knee and shoulder joints, for many years. However, the surrounding musculature makes access to the hip joint much more difficult by comparison with the knee and shoulder joints.

Precision to a new standard. optimized for the elbow. The special set offers a practical selection of instruments. The arthroscopist benefits from the perfect integration of all components to the anatomical requirements and optimum harmonization with the pathologies being treated. These features also facilitate the reduction of risks caused by delays and any resulting critical swellings.

Bioactive and bioresorbable interference screws for ACL and PCL reconstruction. BioactIF OSTEOTRANS is the name for the new generation of bioactive and bioresorbable Interference screws from Wolf. The unique Osteotrans composite material made of Poly-L-Lactide (PLLA) and unsintered Hydroxylapatite (uHA) demonstrates an osteoconductive effect in bones. Trabecular structures grow into the surface of the implant from the surrounding bone within a short space of time.

To the point. Apart from cartilage transplantation (mosaic plastic surgery) and autologous chondrocyte transplantation, microfracturation has now become a very widespread method for treating cartilage defects. Microfracturation ranks among the bone-marrow stimulating procedures and is applied in cases of restricted cartilage damage that goes deep into the bone.

Controlled precision – the new irrigation and suction pump for arthroscopy. This is a new pump system for arthroscopic endoscopy. The software and technical enhancements make the pump ideal for diagnostic and therapeutic arthroscopies. It combines the irrigation and suction pump in a single unit. A vacuum pump is integrated alongside the roller pump for irrigation. A single tube is adequate for evacuation. A second roller-pump tube set is not required.

The perspective in rectoscopy.
Hemorrhoidal disorders are some of the most frequent diseases in the anal area. The conventional methods of examination are unpleasant for the patient and the attending physician alike. These very restricted techniques placed significant constraints on documenting the findings. The RectoLution-System from Richard Wolf opens up a series of new and unprecedented perspectives in rectoscopy. A large working channel integrated in the telescope is ideal for carrying a wide range of surgical interventions. The patented transparent viewing cap replaces the conventional obturator in the RectoLution-System and allows endoscopy of the anal canal to be carried out under natural conditions for the first time. Structures down to the capillary level can be envisioned in brilliant detail. This system can even be used to examine painful diseases of the anal canal. A suction ligature set has been developed especially for the RectoLution-System allowing hemorrhoid ligation to be visualized and documented under video endoscopic view.  

Suction and irrigation system for proctoscopy and rectoscopy
The "RECTO PUMP" instrument system has been specially designed for efficient cleaning of the rectum in proctoscopy and rectoscopy. Precise and clear visualization of the rectal cavity is often only possible with targeted flushing and simultaneous suction. The device is controlled by a microprocessor module. Individual device parameters are displayed on a large LCD display in the front panel. The user can define individual power levels using the front keypad. The examiner is able to use the foot switch to set individual device functions or adjust them directly at the unit. Suction and irrigation is carried out by a specially developed suction and irrigation pistol. The suction channel has been designed with a particularly large lumen so that suction can be performed efficiently. Simultaneous suction and irrigation is also possible with this special design. The necessary irrigation pressure of approx. 1 l/min is generated by a roller pump and activated by a foot switch.

Packed sterile – for immediate use
Richard Wolf Disposable Procto-Rectoscope Tubes have a long track record in proctological diagnostics extending back many years. 

This step has now become even more efficient. Sterile packaging at the factory means that the procto-rectoscope tubes are now ready for use immediately.
This eliminates the process of disinfection prior to application. An easily readable scale makes documentation and checks easier. 
The combination of a disposable tube and reusable handle offers an ideal, cost-effective solution.
Disinfection before use is eliminated.

Each tube is packed singly, sterile.

In working lengths of 120 mm and 255 mm.

Application with reusable R. Wolf handle.

Slim 7 mm resectoscope for minimal dilatation effort.
The Princess is the thin resectoscope from Richard Wolf with an outer diameter of just 7 mm. It is used with the PANOVIEW telescope featuring 12° direction of view. The benefits of small dimensions are particularly important. Transcervical insertion in particular has been considerably facilitated due to the significantly reduced volume, and tissue trauma has also been substantially reduced. Another benefit is simplified intraoperative handling in small uterine cavities. These small dimensions permit very fine and exact dissection. The intrauterine pressure can be kept particularly low due to the reduced space requirement. Less fluid consumption and loss are the result. The instrument with hybrid technology can be used for monopolar and bipolar application.

Exceptional image quality.
The Compact Hysteroscope makes a big contribution to comfort during an intervention with a very small diameter of only 3.8 mm, the PANOVIEW telescope with a 30° direction of view, and the separate inflow and outflow channels. This is very important in particular for fertility and sterility patients. 5 Fr. auxiliary instruments can be introduced through the straight working channel and used to achieve a very gentle intervention. "True Continuous Flow Technology" with separate inflow and outflow channels delivers ideal visibility conditions even in difficult situations. This means that the overview remains stable even when an auxiliary instrument is introduced. 

Safety in a new light.
The development of patient-friendly, minimally invasive hysterectomy techniques and the associated good results now mean that hysterectomy can today be carried out laparoscopically in many cases. The new SecuFix Uterus Manipulator defines new benchmarks for safety. The atraumatic fixation of the uterus using vacuum aspiration and "Colpotransillumination", i.e. the option of visualizing tissue using distal, annular illumination for the cervical cap are the significant new product features. They are important factors for an optimum surgical result and permit compliance with oncological criteria, e.g. the avoidance of intraperitoneal tumor cell dislocation.

Resectoscope with automatic chip suction for permanent overview.
The resectoscope is regarded throughout the world as the "Gold Standard" in the therapy of intracavitary myomas. When a myoma resection is carried out, the chips from the resection float in the dilatation medium and make a clear overview increasingly difficult or obstruct the view altogether. The chips then have to be removed periodically. Every time the resectoscope is inserted again, coagulated blood first has to be flushed out when the hydrometra is established until good visualization of the operating site has been achieved and the resection can then be continued. Manipulations of this nature entail an enhanced risk of perforation. Longer operating times present a particular risk of the dangerous TUR syndrome. 

Efficiency is easy.
The use of electronic morcellators in gynecological laparoscopy has been established for a long time. New trends in the treatment concept for intramural myomas and most importantly the introduction of laparoscopic, supracervical hysterectomy require advanced development of new systems geared toward further simplifying the application of morcellators and making them safer to use. Development of the Morce Power Plus Morcellation System has enabled Richard Wolf to create the ideal conditions for morcellating large volumes of tissue more easily, more quickly, and more safely in line with global trends.

5 Fr. Bipolar Electrode for dissection, preparation and coagulation in hysteroscopy.
The outstanding materials used in this premium product for HF gynecology meet all the exacting standards of hysteroscopy. Although the material of the BipoTrode has a natural stiffness, the processing of a semi-elastic steel means that the BipoTrode can also be used in classic hysteroscopy instruments with an angled 5 Fr. working channel. The stiffness and simultaneous flexibility of the BipoTrode helps the gynecologist in mechanical preparation, dissection and coagulation during hysteroscopy.

Modular system solutions complement the product range with flexible endoscopes in the most advanced technologies for the treatment of patients ranging from neonates to adolescents.

The next generation of minimally invasive instruments for pyloromyotomy.
Children with infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) are born with an enlargement and thickening of the circular pyloric muscle (muscle controlling the exit of food from the stomach). This means that the passage leading out of the stomach is constricted by the enlarged muscle and food is unable to pass out of the stomach.

Modular ESWL System. The modular structure of the device concept allows individual system requirements to be taken into account. Different location systems can be combined with the lithotripter module to create an ergonomically optimized workstation. A stationary arrangement of the devices allows direct access to the system without having to readjust the components.

Focusing on multimodal stone management. Urological stone management now encompasses a variety of procedures in which extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy has become established as the central treatment. The combination with endourological interventions places particular demands on a multimodal ESWL workstation for stone management.
