Conmed Aer Defense

ConMed AER DEFENSE Smoke Evacuator System

The ConMed AER DEFENSE Smoke Evacuator System is engineered to protect patients and OR staff from the harmful by-products found in surgical smoke and aerosols. With the ability to capture and filter more than 80 different organic compounds—including toxic chemical by-products and infectious agents—this system significantly reduces the risk of infection and noxious odors in the operating room. Its advanced dual-stage motor provides efficient suction while operating 11% (7 dBA) quieter than previous models, ensuring a safer and more comfortable surgical environment.
