ABSTRACT:
A medical device comprises an articulated string of hollow plastic beads which lock into each other. The medical device will attach to an operating-room table-rail and hold a nozzle or suction scoop in a given position near the surgical site to evacuate airborne hazardous smoke fumes. The medical device will eliminate the need for an operating room nurse who in the past may be been solely responsible for manually holding the prior art nozzles or suction scoops in the vicinity of the surgical site. A surgeon will be able control by one hand the aiming and positioning of the nozzle or suction scoop by grabbing and configuring the medical device via a quick thrusting action. The medical device will remain in place until moved into another position.
