Smoke Filters

We currently offer 2 different smoke – also known as plume, filtration devices: PlumePort and the PlumePort ActiV

PlumePort is a passive laparoscopic smoke filtration device with integrated ULPA filtration coupled with activated carbon to safely filter the aerosolized contents of peritoneal smoke during laparoscopy. Containing more than twice the ULPA media compared to competing passive devices and a dual management moisture control process of a wicking agent and fluid trap, PlumePort offers essential media integrity for greater protection during longer cases.

PlumePort ActiV is the first line of defense for safe, effective removal of surgical smoke plume during laparoscopic procedures. ActiV easily attaches to standard trocars and utilizes readily available suction systems providing noiseless operation. With a built-in fluid trap, moisture is effectively managed throughout the entire procedure to ensure uninhibited flow and prevent filter saturation without compromising the integrity of the filtration media. ActiV provides up to 50% more flow capability than passive laparoscopic filters while maintaining ULPA filtration and significantly outperforms competitive devices when exposed to high moisture environments. In addition to ULPA filtration, ActiV contains activated carbon known to adsorb gases.
