Wolf and STORZ
Georg Wolf was a famous
manufacturer of rigid endoscope and was based in Berlin; he established his
business in 1906 and in 1911, developed the Sussmann flexible gastroscopes.
Karl Storz set up business in 1945 and specialized in manufacturing endoscope
for E.N.T. specialists. At that time, the technology used for making endoscope
was quite primitive but Storz had a brilliant plan. He used bright and cold
light, which, when introduced into the body cavity provided excellent visibility
of the interiors and also allowed documentation of the cavity or organ with the
help of image transmission. This technological advance by Storz, paved the way
for modern endoscopy and a combination of his engineering vision along with
advances made by Harold Hopkins, an optical engineer, revolutionized the field
of medical optics.
