Operating Room Smoke Evacuation

When you’re working in the OR, the main concern of you and your team should be the successful completion of the procedure, not the potential effects of laser or electrosurgical smoke plumes. Surgimedics makes smoke evacuation in the OR easy with intuitive products that capture and filter out potentially harmful chemicals without interfering with your workflow. Focus on delivering the best care possible without jeopardizing your own health with Surgimedics operating room smoke evacuation machines.

The Necessity of Smoke Evacuation in the OR

According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over 500,000 healthcare workers are exposed to smoke plumes each year. Potential repercussions of smoke exposure include pulmonary irritation, upper respiratory infection, nausea, headaches and genotoxicity. When working with infectious material, there is also a possibility that viral fragments in the air can enter the body through inhalation. A Surgimedics operating room smoke evacuation system can help ensure harmful compounds are captured properly, providing an important safeguard for your health and that of your patients and staff.
