Laparoscope
A laparoscope is a rigid telescope passed through a small abdominal incision to view the abdominal cavity on a monitor. Laparoscopy systems are used in general surgery, gynaecology, urology and paediatric surgery for minimally invasive operations.
Common types
- 0 degree laparoscope: straight ahead view for most general procedures.
- 30 degree laparoscope: angled view to see around organs.
- Full HD or 4K laparoscopy tower: camera, light source, insufflator and monitor.
- Laparoscopic instrument set: graspers, scissors, dissectors, needle holders and trocars.
- Paediatric laparoscope: smaller diameter, often 5 mm or below.

Documents to ask for
Buyers ask for CE marking under the EU MDR or US FDA clearance, ISO 13485 for the maker, IEC 60601-1 with IEC 60601-2-18 for the electrical parts and validated reprocessing instructions for reusable instruments.
Certificates and registrations belong to the product and its manufacturer. We check them with you against the rules of your market before any order.
Can laparoscopes be autoclaved?
Many modern laparoscopes are labelled autoclavable, while some must be sterilised at low temperature. Check the maker's instructions and match them to the sterilisation methods your hospital uses.
