Clarity, Precision, & Efficiency: Revolutionizing Laparoscopic Surgical Smoke Evacuation

Surgical smoke is the dangerous byproduct of the energy-generating devices used in surgical procedures. During laparoscopic cases, surgical smoke must be removed to maintain field of vision and to protect patients and staff from exposure, but how do you evacuate surgical smoke and still maintain the pressure needed for the laparoscopic procedure? We’re going to find out in today’s First Case Vendor Spotlight™ with Paul Fowler, Director of Engineering, and Calvin Hersom, Sales Trainer at Northgate Technologies, Inc. (NTI). In this exciting discussion, we’ll uncover the risks of exposure to surgical smoke, discuss the realities of smoke evacuation, and learn about a safer, more efficient system for the operation room – the Nebulae® SRS.

The Nebulae® SRS is a quiet, closed-loop laparoscopic smoke removal device that maintains the pneumoperitoneum, removes surgical smoke and 99.999% of contaminants, while also reducing your CO2 gas usage. This allows the surgical case to move forward without pauses for reinsufflation, for smoke to clear, or for staff to change CO2 tanks.​
