| abstract | - Smoke evacuation systems is a device used to capture smoke generated during open-surgical procedures (e.g., laser surgery, electrocautery, electrosurgery) in which there is tissue ablation. These systems capture the plume (smoke composed of carbonized cell fragments, water vapor, and hydrocarbons) from vaporized tissue near its origin before it becomes air-dispersed and deposits in the respiratory tracts of the surgical team.
