Smoke From Energy Devices
Captions available
The idea
Energy devices produce surgical smoke whenever they destroy tissue with heat.
In practice
The smoke is captured at the source with a smoke evacuator or filtered suction, with the nozzle kept close to the site.
Where people slip
Smoke exposure adds up over a career, so evacuation is used for every case that produces smoke.
