A Surgical Smoke Evacuator is a medical device designed to remove smoke generated during surgical procedures, particularly those involving electrosurgery or laser surgery. This smoke can contain harmful chemicals and viable cellular material, posing risks to both surgical staff and patients. The evacuator works by using suction to capture and filter the smoke, ensuring a safer operating environment. These devices typically feature a high-efficiency filter that traps particulates and toxins, preventing them from being released back into the air. Many Surgical Smoke Evacuators are portable and can be easily integrated into the surgical workflow, enhancing safety and comfort during procedures.
