EVACUATING SURGICAL SMOKE
We’ve long been impressed by IC Medical, a leader in developing surgical smoke evacuation and collection technologies that prioritize both surgical team and patient safety. Based in Phoenix, Arizona, IC Medical has established itself as a pioneer in reducing the hazards associated with surgical plume. Since its founding in 1989, the company has focused on creating products that address the serious health concerns linked to surgical smoke, a byproduct of procedures involving lasers or electrosurgery.
IC Medical’s innovations, such as the Crystal Vision Series, use sophisticated sensors and high-speed air vortex technology to efficiently capture smoke at the source, preventing its dispersion into the operating room. The Crystal Vision 450D is an example of this technological prowess, aimed at optimizing the safety and cleanliness of surgical environments. In addition, IC Medical offers PenEvac Electrosurgery Pencils with integrated smoke evacuation, providing versatile options that are compatible with a wide range of smoke evacuators on the market. These specialized surgical pens come in both telescopic and non-telescopic versions, ensuring flexibility and adaptability in various operating settings.
Beyond this, IC Medical manufactures robust ULPA filtration systems to trap 99.9999% of particles, including bio-aerosols and viral elements. Their laparoscopic accessories further support minimally invasive surgeries by managing smoke and CO2 emissions efficiently. By producing all products in-house at their Phoenix facility, IC Medical emphasizes their commitment to quality and standards compliance, with their products cleared by the FDA and meeting international requirements such as ISO, CE, and CSA certifications. Importantly, IC Medical has also actively supported legislative efforts for “Smoke-Free OR” policies, highlighting their dedication to enhancing surgical environments.
