Approval and launch of smoke evacuation systems is expected to drive the global smoke evacuation system market growth

Manufacturers such as Buffalo Filter LLC., are engaged in research and development activities, and product launches. For instance, in April 2016, Buffalo Filter LLC launched PlumePen Pro, a surgical smoke evacuation pencil, at the Association of Perioperative Registered Nurses (AORN) surgical conference held in Anaheim, U.S. Moreover, in March 2014, Buffalo Filter LLC., launched VisiClear, a surgical smoke plume evacuator. VisiClear offers SafePort and Whisper technology, which allows quiet, safe, and intuitive surgical smoke removal.

Increasing number of laparoscopic surgeries is driving demand for laparoscopic smoke evacuation systems. For instance, according to the Global Surgery Statistics 2018, around 15 million laparoscopic surgeries are performed every year across the globe. Moreover, due to increasing demand of laparoscopic surgery, manufacturers are focusing on developing laparoscopic smoke evacuation products, which is expected to drive the market growth. For instance, CONMED Corporation, offers a large portfolio of laparoscopic smoke management systems. Moreover, Medtronic also offers Valleylab, a laparoscopic smoke evacuators.

Increasing number of laser and cosmetic surgeries is expected to propel global smoke evacuation system market growth over the forecast period

Increasing awareness about laser surgery has resulted in significant growth in the number of laser surgeries in U.S. For instance, in 2018, according to American Academy of Ophthalmology, around 700,000 LASIK surgeries are done each year in U.S. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, in 2017, around 17.5 million surgical and minimally invasive cosmetic procedures were performed in the U.S., with an increase by 2% from 2016. These factors are expected to drive the global smoke evacuation system market growth.

According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommendations, several control measures are required to remove smoke generated during laser/electric surgical procedures, such as local exhaust ventilation (LEV), smoke evacuators, and room suction systems. Moreover, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has also set guidelines related to surgical smoke evacuation systems such as:

• Smoke evacuators needed to be placed two inches from the surgical site
• Tubing and other disposable items to be replaced after each surgical procedure

Such factors are expected to highlight the importance of using smoke evacuation systems at the surgical site.
