Bovie Aaron Smoke Shark

The Aaron Smoke Shark is designed for use with all electrosurgical generators and can also be used to control laser smoke. The Smoke Shark's 18-hour filter combines four-stage filtration in one casing (Pre-filter, ULPA, Carbon, Post-filter) to capture particles down to 0.01 µm with more than 99.9 percent efficiency, the company says. The 24 ounces of carbon contained in the Smoke Shark filter, over 20 times the amount of a competing brand, also aids in odor elimination. A variety of accessories are available, including laser-resistant tubing, tubing reducers for attachment to smoke pencils or vaginal speculum, many other tubing configurations (sterile or non-sterile), a foot control and a remote switch activator.
