Description
Overview
The ConMed SnapEvac™ is a smoke evacuation adapter that snaps onto the handpiece of most electrosurgical (ESU) pencils, turning a standard pencil into a smoke evacuation device. Its clear capture port collects surgical smoke plume at the point of creation, and ConMed positions it as a cost-effective way to add source capture without changing pencils.
Key Features
