Collection: Smoke Evacuation Systems and Accessories

Smoke evacuation is a fundamental part of electrosurgery and other treatments that give off noxious smells or fumes. With a reliable smoke evacuation system on hand, medical professionals can keep their treatment space clear from toxic odors and fumes, and keep their patients comfortable.

Smoke Evacuation Systems

A smoke evacuation system typically consists of several key components: the suction unit, tubing, and filters. These systems are designed to effectively capture and filter smoke, aerosols, and other airborne contaminants generated during medical procedures, preventing them from being released into the surrounding air and posing health risks to both patients and healthcare professionals.

MFI Medical offers a wide range of smoke evacuators from reputable brands such as Bovie and Buffalo. Each of these smoke evacuators is engineered with distinct features to cater to various medical needs and preferences. They differ in aspects like weight, suction power, and filtration efficiency, ensuring you can find a model that suits your specific requirements. Despite these differences, all smoke evacuators are highly effective at eliminating harmful fumes, helping maintain a safer and cleaner environment in the treatment room.

Moreover, these systems are designed with versatility in mind, offering multiple mounting options to fit seamlessly into any clinical setting. Whether it’s necessary to have a unit that can be mounted on a table or one that is easily movable with a mobile trolley, MFI Medical has the right solution to meet your operational needs.

Why is One Necessary for Electrosurgery?

Electrosurgical systems are essential tools in many medical procedures, particularly those that require the precise removal or cauterization of tissues. These systems operate by channeling electrical power through a generator into a handheld pen, which then directs the current to an electrode tip. The physician applies this electrically charged tip to specific tissue areas, effectively "burning" or vaporizing the targeted tissues. This dual action not only removes unwanted tissue but also cauterizes the area simultaneously, minimizing bleeding and reducing trauma to the surrounding tissues.

While electrosurgical systems are highly effective, the process of tissue removal generates noxious fumes and unpleasant odors that can be hazardous if inhaled. To mitigate these risks, many electrosurgical systems are equipped with integrated smoke evacuation units or strongly recommend using an external smoke evacuator during procedures. These smoke evacuation systems are designed to capture and filter the harmful smoke and airborne particles produced, ensuring a safer and more comfortable environment for both the surgical team and the patient. Additionally, using a smoke evacuator can improve visibility in the surgical field, contributing to more precise and efficient surgical outcomes.

Don’t Forget Filters and Accessories

MFI Medical offers a wide range of essential accessories to ensure your smoke evacuator operates efficiently and effectively. These include filters, tubing, suction wands, and sponge guards. To maintain the cleanliness and sterility of your smoke evacuation system, it's important to regularly replace filters and tubing, as these components can become contaminated with use. Many smoke evacuators come equipped with an indicator light that alerts you when it's time to change the filters, helping you maintain optimal performance and safety. Be sure to consult your smoke evacuator’s manual or information guide to determine which accessory types and models are compatible with your specific unit.
