Which System Should You Choose?

The Karl Storz Image 1 HUB HD remains the smarter choice for hospitals and surgical centers that need dependable Full HD visualization across a broad range of specialties without the added cost of a dual-console SPIES architecture. Its backward and forward compatibility with virtually the entire Image 1 camera head library — from legacy SD heads to modern 3-chip HD heads — makes it the go-to platform for facilities upgrading from older Karl Storz systems or consolidating multiple OT setups under one imaging standard.

The Image 1 S SPIES system, on the other hand, is better suited for high-acuity centers performing complex oncological, bariatric, or vascular procedures where enhanced visualization modes — Clara, Chroma, and Spectra A/B — provide a genuine clinical advantage in identifying tissue planes, vascularity, and margins. Its native Full HD image capture via the TC200 module also makes it the preferred choice for teaching hospitals and centers that rely heavily on recorded case documentation.

In short: Choose the Image 1 HUB HD for cost-effective, broad-specialty reliability and wide camera head compatibility. Choose the Image 1 S SPIES for advanced visualization enhancement in complex, high-volume surgical environments.

Which System Should You Choose?

The Image 1 HUB HD continues to be the practical, high-value option for general laparoscopic, gynecological, and urological practices that need consistent Full HD clarity without the complexity or capital investment of a modular 4K stack. Its compact single-console design, lower footprint, and broader legacy camera head support make it especially well suited for day-care surgical centers, mid-sized hospitals, and facilities prioritizing operational simplicity and lower total cost of ownership.

The Image 1 S Rubina is the clear choice for institutions performing advanced fluorescence-guided surgery, hepatobiliary procedures, or 3D laparoscopy, where native 4K resolution and ICG/NIR fluorescence imaging directly support improved intraoperative decision-making. Its compatibility with 3D videoendoscopes and flexible CMOS scopes also makes it the stronger long-term investment for tertiary care centers and teaching hospitals building a future-ready, multi-modality imaging platform.

In short: Choose the Image 1 HUB HD for reliable, cost-efficient Full HD performance across routine procedures. Choose the Image 1 S Rubina for 4K, 3D, and fluorescence-guided advanced surgical applications.

Which System Should You Choose?

This comparison is less about trade-offs and more about a clear generational upgrade. The Image 1 HUB HD offers native Full HD (1080p) resolution against the Telecam DX II's standard-definition (576p) output — a difference that directly impacts diagnostic clarity, depth perception, and surgical precision during minimally invasive procedures. For any hospital or surgical center still operating on Telecam DX II or similar legacy SD systems, upgrading to the Image 1 HUB HD delivers a substantial jump in image quality, built-in digital image capture, and long-term compatibility with the wider Karl Storz HD ecosystem — all while remaining significantly more affordable than higher-end 4K or 3D platforms.

The Telecam DX II may still serve as a functional backup or secondary-room system for facilities with tightly constrained budgets, but it is not recommended as a primary imaging platform for centers performing regular laparoscopic, gynecological, or urological surgery in 2026 and beyond.

In short: Choose the Image 1 HUB HD for modern Full HD clarity, future compatibility, and better long-term value. The Telecam DX II is best reserved for legacy backup use only, not as a primary surgical camera system.

Their quoted rates seemed high at first so we initially chose a different vendor from indiamart website but the camera unit he gave us was completely faulty and malfunctioning ... it had improper vision and camera head would not connect to console securely, then we got it refunded and ordered from m-store medsurg finally - the eq they gave us is very good and genuine, our drs are happy doing cases using it.

We were using old olympus S190 Camera system and were happy with it, we expanded our hospital and required another set but new olympus machine was costing 40 lacs whereas we got this refurb set for around half of that, after we installed it our surgeons highly appraise the vision quality of this system even in comparison to olympus 3 chip hd.
