More Effective Smoke
Evacuation
VisiClear surgical smoke plume
evacuator features a more
compact shelf design, an interactive color touchscreen and improved technologies for effectively evacuating smoke plume — which has been proven to contain toxic gases, live cellular material (including blood fragments) and viruses, and which might
cause respiratory and eye irritation or nausea in OR staff. According to the
maker, Buffalo Filter, VisiClear's features include SafePort (a patent-pending,
sliding port closure to reduce cross-contamination) and Whisper Technology
(sound control that allows for ultra-quiet operation). The unit's sleeker design
accommodates stacking and lies flat on a surgical boom shelf with isolation
feet that don't require hard attachment. Finally, upgraded software for the
32-bit microprocessor delivers color controls on the touchscreen, along with
optimized speed and power. buffalofilter.com
