Working at a Mohs clinic?

Chemical contents of electrocautery plume include carcinogens. Mohs patients and others in the procedure room are exposed to these harmful chemicals during use of electrosurgical instrumentation.1

Around 77% of particulate matter within surgical smoke was found to be less than 1.1 µm in size. Standard surgical masks filter particulate greater than 5 µm in size, and therefore do not provide protection against electrosurgical and laser plume.1

Patients were significantly less bothered by the smell of smoke when smoke evacuation was used, which provided an improved patient experience.2
