Surgical smoke
Helping to protect healthcare workers who are exposed to surgical smoke
According to multiple studies, surgical smoke presents a significant danger to your staff.
Be clear about the health advantages smoke evacuation can give your hospital. Our portfolio of smoke evacuation solutions can help protect surgeons, healthcare workers, and patients from the dangerous toxins in surgical smoke.
The energy-based devices you use shouldn’t put your patients or your team’s health at risk. That’s why our Valleylab™ energy portfolio includes comprehensive smoke-evacuation solutions, from pencils and smoke evacuation units to training for your staff.
Each product offers distinct benefits — for patients and your staff — but it’s when they’re used together as an integrated system that you’ll get the most value.
The Valleylab™ SM smoke management pencil easily connects to the Valleylab™ FT10 energy platform and RapidVac™ smoke evacuator system.§,4
Using TissueFect™ technology, the Valleylab™ FT10 energy platform actively monitors changes in the tissue (impedance) and adjusts energy output in real-time.5
The RapidVac™ smoke evacuation system filters surgical smoke to remove harmful particulates and byproducts.6
A wide range of smoke pencils, designed to meet diverse surgeon preferences, completes the system.
The RapidVac™ smoke evacuator fits conveniently on the cart with the FT10 energy platform.
