Overview

Clear Surgical Smoke With Confidence.

Smoke in the surgical field can be a nuisance — or worse. It can obscure your vision, delay procedures, and pose risks to your team.([FOOTNOTE=Ball K. Surgical smoke evacuation guidelines: compliance among perioperative nurses. AORN J. 2010; 92(2):e1–e23.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]) It doesn’t have to.

Introducing our portfolio of Valleylab™ smoke evacuation pencils for your open procedures. Each model offers the flexibility to facilitate access and visibility at the surgical site.^2,†,‡ Plus, they can help protect you, your team, and your patients from the potential hazards of surgical smoke.([FOOTNOTE=Hill DS, O’Neill JK, Powell RJ, Oliver DW. Surgical smoke—a health hazard in the operating theatre: a study to quantify exposure and a survey of the use of smoke extractor systems in UK plastic surgery units. J Plast Reconstr Aesthet Surg. 2012;65(7):911–916.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])

The Dangers of
Surgical Smoke

Over 500,000 healthcare workers are exposed to surgical smoke every year.^5,([FOOTNOTE=Laser/Electrosurgery Plume. Occupational Safety & Health Administration Website. https://www.osha.gov/SLTC/laserelectrosurgeryplume/index.html. Accessed April 4, 2019.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]) More than 150 hazardous chemicals have been identified in surgical smoke.([FOOTNOTE=Pierce JS, Lacey SE, Lippert JF, Lopez R, Franke JE. Laser-generated air contaminants from medical laser applications: a state-of-the-science review of exposure characterization, health effects, and control. J Occup Environ Hyg. 2011;8(7):447–466.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]) And some experts estimate that the amount of surgical smoke produced daily in the OR equals 27 to 30 cigarettes.⁶
