My experience with the IonPencil has been excellent. It feels very similar to a standard pencil but generates no smoke!

Using Ultravision regularly has allowed me to realise the benefits of adopting a CO2-sparing approach. I'm able to maintain a clear field of view and, critically for my patient's wellbeing, a stable pneumoperitoneum.

Questions and Answers
The rate of adoption of surgical smoke legislation is accelerating as the short- and long-term exposure risks become better understood. In 2018, only 1 state had enacted legislation. Just six years later and now over twenty states have either enacted, or are in the process of enacting legislation mandating the use of smoke management products in the OR.
As of July 2024, 18 states have enacted legislation requiring hospitals to provide surgical smoke management equipment, with a further four pending.
The AORN organization is the best way to track progress, which has accelerated dramatically since the Covid pandemic:

In Europe, EORNA is proactively lobbying for similar legislation to be introduced in Europe.
