Seminar Session A: Surgical Smoke And Integrated Solutions For Smoke Evacuation
- The thermal vaporization of tissue leads to the development of surgical smoke
- The ingredients of surgical smoke are known and associated with health hazards for the surgeon and OR staff that are exposed to the smoke every day.
- Studies strongly recommend evacuating the smoke directly at the site of surgery to minimize the exposure of the surgeon and OR staff
- Modern evacuation systems can be integrated with the instrument and use highly effective ULPA filters that are very capable of cleaning the air from nanoparticles, such as smoke particles, bacteria and viruses
