ConMed GoldVac Push Button Smoke Evacuation Pencil (10/Case)

The ConMed GoldVac Pencil is specifically designed for procedures requiring superior visibility and highly effective smoke elimination, particularly when accessing deep or narrow surgical spaces.

It is ideal for use in complex, high-precision operations, including:

• Mastectomies and Lymphatic node dissections
• ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) procedures
• Cardiac and Thoracic surgeries
• Orthopedic applications

Its effectiveness in these challenging environments is due to key design features:

• Targeted Smoke Removal: The smoke elimination tube is adjustable, extending up to 6 inches along the active electrode, ensuring maximum plume capture precisely at the source.
• Enhanced Ergonomics: The low-profile handle and the tubing’s swivel connection are designed to maximize range of motion and reduce wrist fatigue during lengthy procedures.
• Clutter Reduction: The cord set is neatly housed within the tubing, which helps keep the surgical field clear and organized.

Yes, the ConMed GoldVac Push Button Smoke Evacuation Pencil is designed for versatile compatibility within the operating room.

Key compatibility features include:

• Universal Integration: Adapters are available to ensure the GoldVac can be used effectively with most surgical smoke evacuation systems.
• Direct Connection: It connects directly onto the AER Defense FilterOne unit.

The ConMed GoldVac Smoke Evacuation Pencil is available in two tubing configurations to match various operating room needs:

• 10-foot (10’) Tubing
• 15-foot (15’) Tubing

Both configurations utilize the standard 11 mm tubing diameter. This smaller diameter tubing is engineered to maintain high flow rates, comparable to larger systems, while occupying less space and contributing to a lighter, less cluttered surgical site. Each case contains 10 sterile, single-use units.
