Surgical plume evacuation systems are designed to capture and remove smoke generated during procedures like laser surgery or electrocautery, reducing exposure risks for surgical staff. These systems use a wand or tube to collect plume at its source, then filter and evacuate it via suction, improving air quality in the operating room.
These systems are typically regulated as medical devices, often requiring compliance with safety and performance standards for smoke filtration and suction efficiency. They may be classified differently depending on jurisdiction, and suppliers offer both mobile and fixed versions tailored for open or minimally invasive surgeries.
