The Aaron Smoke Shark is designed to be easy to use and extremely effective at smoke and particle removal at the operative sight. While designed for use with all electrosurgical generators, it is also excellent for use in controlling laser smoke.
The Smoke Shark's 18-hour filter combines four-stage filtration in one casing (Pre-filter, ULPA, Carbon, Post-filter), keeping cost per procedure down and minimizing waste. The four-stage filter captures particles down to 0.01 µm with 99.99995% efficiency giving you the confidence you need for a safe work environment. The 24 ounces of carbon contained in the Smoke Shark filter, over twenty times the amount of a competing brand, does a superior job in odor elimination.
A variety of accessories are available to customize the Smoke Shark to your specific application. These include laser-resistant tubing, tubing reducers for attachment to smoke pencils or vaginal speculum, many other tubing configurations (sterile or nonsterile), a foot control and a remote switch activator.
AORN recommends the use of smoke evacuation systems during any medical procedure producing surgical smoke.
500,000 healthcare professionals are exposed to surgical smoke proven to carry viruses, CO, and other chemical and biological hazards. The Smoke Shark II minimizes exposure to these toxic smoke plumes during electrosurgery, laser, and harmonic scalpel procedures.
The Extended-Life Filter (SF35) offers up to 35 hours performance reducing procedure cost by 38%(+/-) when used at the lowest setting.
The Smoke Shark II Smoke Evacuator is compatible with most electrosurgical generators. The unit operates in conjunction with the optional Bovie Remote Activation Switch (SERS2) for maximized filter life and surgical efficiency
