Smoke analysis of a new surgical system that applies low-temperature plasma

Abstract: Background: The high-frequency electrotome (ES), which is widely used in surgical procedures, generates surgical smoke that is potentially hazardous to operating personnel. Previous research shows that the PlasmaBlade (PB) may be able to overcome this problem. The present study set out to analyze potentially hazardous surgical smoke generated during electrosurgery by the ES, the PB, and. a new surgical system that applies low-temperature plasma, the NTS-100.Methods: In vitro and in vivo healthy porcine models … Show more

“…In Taiwan, for example, more than 10,000 nurses are exposed to these hazards each year ( 3 ). Also, if a large amount of surgical smoke is present in the environment, it can obstruct the surgeon’s view and make surgery last longer ( 4 , 5 ). Since the 1960s, the dangers of exposure to surgical smoke constituents and their presence of bioaerosols have been investigated ( 4 ).…”
