ABSTRACT:
A shield for eliminating smoke created during electrocautery surgery includes an elongated base member and an upwardly extending concave wall secured to one edge thereof. Located on the upper surface of the base member is an elongated suction tube which extends along the base member. A plurality of vertical openings in the upper surface of the tube create an air flow when the tube is connected to a vacuum source. Air and smoke in the vicinity of the shield are drawn inwardly toward the top of the shield, down the inner surface of the concave wall and into the suction tube. The bottom surface of the base member has a pressure sensitive adhesive thereon so that the shield can be mounted on a patient or on the patient's surgical gown or covering adjacent the surgical area.
