Team 23: Cordless Monopolar Smoke Attachment
Abstract
Surgical plume is a hazardous byproduct of electrosurgery and is typically captured using large, cumbersome smoke evacuation systems. Our team has innovated a hand-held solution, eliminating the trip and entanglement hazards of traditional plume evacuator tubing. The final design is an ergonomic, functional, and all-in-one monopolar surgical pencil attachment capable of plume capture and filtration in the OR.
