Eschmann Launches Smoke Evacuation Unit

Eschmann Equipment launches its new smoke evacuation unit and range of disposable accessories. Smoke evacuation is a topical subject amongst theatre staff and this new product is seen as a welcome addition to Eschmann’s electrosurgery range. Along with the health benefits associated with reducing surgical smoke in the workplace, the benefits of smoke extraction include increased visibility of the surgical site and reduced odour. The Eschmann smoke evacuation unit and accessories have been designed for ease of use and with cost effectiveness in mind. With efficient smoke extraction via the ergonomically designed handpiece combined with ULPA performance filtration, this quiet and inexpensive product range offers outstanding performance. Philip Kennedy, Eschmann Sales and Marketing Director said “this product represents another customer lead innovation from Eschmann. Surgical smoke evacuation we believe will soon be as routine as electrosurgery itself and we are proud to be once again leading the way”.
