ConMed GoldVac Rocker Switch Smoke Evacuation Pencil (10/Case)

Yes, the ConMed GoldVac Rocker Switch Smoke Evacuation Pencil is designed for enhanced versatility and is compatible with extended tip electrodes (sold separately).

While the pencil is supplied with a standard 1” UltraClean Blade, it accommodates longer electrodes, specifically:

• 4” extended tip electrodes
• 6” extended tip electrodes

A key functional advantage is the adjustable smoke tube extension, which allows you to position the smoke elimination tube up to 6 inches along the active electrode. This feature ensures optimal plume capture directly at the surgical site, maximizing visibility during procedures in deep cavities.

Each case of ConMed GoldVac Rocker Switch Smoke Evacuation Pencils includes 10 individually packaged pencils, providing a convenient supply for surgical procedures.

Yes, each ConMed GoldVac Rocker Switch Smoke Evacuation Pencil is supplied standard with a high-quality 1-inch UltraClean Blade.

This component ensures optimal performance and clear visibility during procedures. It is supplied sterile and is intended for single-patient use for maximum safety and reliability.

Yes, the ConMed GoldVac is engineered with several ergonomic features specifically designed to minimize wrist fatigue during lengthy procedures:

• Swivel Mechanism: The integrated tubing swivel allows the tubing to rotate freely, maximizing the surgeon’s range of motion and reducing strain on the wrist.
• Low Profile Design: The pencil features a comfortable, low-profile body for natural and easy handling.
• Drape Clip: A plastic drape clip is included to relieve tubing pull, preventing the weight and tension of the tubing from dragging on the hand.
• Lightweight Tubing: It utilizes efficient, smaller diameter 11 mm tubing, which is lighter and helps reduce overall clutter and bulk.

Yes, the ConMed GoldVac pencil is specifically engineered for a low-profile and space-saving footprint while delivering efficient smoke evacuation flow.

Key features related to its compact and ergonomic design include:

• Efficient 11 mm Tubing: The system uses smaller diameter, lighter 11 mm tubing. This allows the unit to provide flow comparable to systems with larger tubing, but it requires less shelf space and significantly reduces overall clutter at the surgical site.
• Enhanced Ergonomics: The pencil features an overall low-profile design for comfort and includes a swivel mechanism that allows the tubing to rotate, maximizing the surgeon’s range of motion and minimizing wrist fatigue during lengthy procedures.
• Tubing Management: A plastic drape clip is included to help manage tubing tension and relieve pull.

Yes, the ConMed GoldVac Rocker Switch Smoke Evacuation Pencil is specifically designed for optimal performance in deep or narrow surgical spaces, where maintaining clear visibility is paramount. This makes it ideal for procedures such as Mastectomies, Lymphatic node dissections, ENT, Cardiac, Thoracic, and Orthopedic applications.Its effectiveness in these challenging environments is due to key design features: * Adjustable Smoke Capture: The smoke elimination tube can be positioned anywhere along the active electrode, extending up to 6 inches. This crucial flexibility allows the surgeon to capture the surgical plume precisely at the source. * Superior Ergonomics: The pencil features a low-profile design and an integrated swivel mechanism, which minimizes wrist fatigue and maximizes the range of motion required during extended, intricate cases. * Reduced Clutter: It utilizes smaller-diameter 11 mm tubing, which maintains effective suction while reducing bulk in the critical surgical field.

Yes, the ConMed GoldVac pencil is specifically engineered to enhance visibility and improve access, particularly in deep or narrow surgical fields. This is achieved through several key features:

• Customizable Tubing Position: The smoke elimination tube can be positioned and locked anywhere along the active electrode, extending up to 6 inches. This allows the surgeon to optimize tube placement for either maximum clearance or highly targeted smoke capture near the surgical tip.
• Low-Profile Ergonomics: The low-profile design and the swivel mechanism help minimize wrist fatigue and ensure maximum range of motion. This design reduces physical obstruction and maintains focus on the critical surgical area.
• Reduced Clutter: The compact design and integrated cord management (cord set housed within the tubing for 3-inch sections) help keep the surgical site clear, further improving visibility and maneuverability.

Yes, the ConMed GoldVac Rocker Switch Smoke Evacuation Pencil is offered in two convenient configurations to suit various surgical room layouts and procedure needs:

• 10 ft Tubing
• 15 ft Tubing

Both configurations utilize efficient 11 mm diameter tubing. This design is a significant advantage as it provides smoke elimination flow comparable to larger tubing while being lighter, reducing site clutter, and conserving storage space. Additionally, the unit incorporates a swivel mechanism on the tubing connection to maximize range of motion and reduce wrist strain during extended procedures.

No, the ConMed GoldVac Rocker Switch Smoke Evacuation Pencil is designed as a sterile, single-use device. This designation ensures the highest standards of safety and hygiene for all surgical procedures.

Yes, the ConMed GoldVac Rocker Switch Smoke Evacuation Pencil is designed for flexible use and broad compatibility with existing surgical equipment and systems. This ensures seamless integration into various clinical environments.

Key compatibility features include:

• Universal System Compatibility: Adapters are available to ensure connectivity with most standard smoke evacuation systems.
• Direct Connection: It is designed to connect directly onto the AER Defense FilterOne unit.
• Electrode Use: The pencil is compatible with 4-inch and 6-inch extended tip electrodes (Note: these electrodes are sold separately).
