The Surgimedics Sterile 1 1/3" x 7/8" Tubing Sponge Guard (#905022) is used for smoke evacuation, and is an important part of surgical plume remediation. Surgimedics designs and sells several smoke wands for use with our SurgiFresh evacuation products.
Smoke wands add to the capabilities of a conventional evacuation unit by allowing the surgeon to collect airborne contaminants such as odor and toxins directly at the procedure site without the need of an assistant or any significant changes in workflow. This helps prevent the spread of plume smoke known to contain over 40 potentially dangerous chemicals.
