The cutting, coagulation, and ultrasonic treatments used in electoral surgery produce smoke that may include dangerous compounds. The active carbon barrier and Smoke Evacuation System are primarily in charge of odor abatement and smoke capture. During open surgery and laparoscopic procedures, these systems filter the smoke and extract aerosol-charged air from the operating theater. During an electrosurgical treatment, smoke evacuation systems are the medical devices that are utilized to remove aerosol, foul odors, and smoke.
The medical team would have inhaled smoke plumes that would have otherwise been distributed in the air and sucked up by a Smoke Evacuation System. The Smoke Evacuation System is a high-flow vacuum source that is used to collect the gases and aerosols that are produced at the surgical site when lasers and electrosurgical devices are utilized (ESUs). The risks of surgical smoke in the operating room for nurses, surgeons, and patients are eliminated via smoke evacuation systems.
