CONMED

The Hall^® Titan^® Power Series is today’s most refined and up-to-date toolkit for surgeons to use in the operating room. Now, with feedback from customers, CONMED has worked closely with its R&D and manufacturing teams to implement new upgrades and changes. As a market leader for orthopedic power tools, we wanted to ensure that the best product is available to the surgeons who take care of patient needs safely and at a high level. High performance, durability and reliability are hallmarks that have elevated the experience across the board as this advancement initiative ushers in an upgraded and robust system.

Refined for peak performance, the Hall^® Titan^® Series has been the next generation of powerful, precise and reliable powered instruments from the brand that’s been trusted in operating rooms across the world for over 60 years – Hall® Powered Instruments.

While medical technology has evolved greatly since Hall^® developed the world’s first surgical pneumatic drill in 1963, one thing that has remained consistent is the way CONMED develops all Hall® Powered Instruments. We take the knowledge and information we receive from working directly with surgeons, material managers, OR nurses and hospital administrators to drive innovation and improve our technology.

With every new product, we are constantly adjusting, refining and enhancing to raise the bar even higher and establishing a new standard of quality and performance. Whether you are a surgeon, a materials manager, an OR nurse, an ASC administrator, or hospital executive, every feature of the Hall^® Titan^® Power Series is deliberately and meticulously designed to help you consistently and reliably achieve your goals.

With this Hall Power Advancement Initiative, we focused on various design changes, process changes and manufacturing changes to our Hall^® Titan^® Large Bone system to create a bullet-proof first-in-class product. This has elevated the overall performance, dependability and reliability of the system.

To achieve a competitive advantage, we made these upgrades to our existing system vs. coming out with a whole new product. The system is designed to be ergonomic, provide reliable power, offer a unique one-step sterilization option, as well as provide cost-effective, universally compatible components and modularity, among other valuable attributes. This revamped power system, designed specifically for large bone procedures, now is enjoying a renaissance that will equip surgeons with what they need to meet any demand of orthopedic surgeries.

Thinking of Buying Smoke Evacuation Solutions

The effort in the healthcare community to curb smoke in the OR for the benefit to both patients and staff has been an ongoing, long-term focus with many states already passing legislation to require smoke evacuation solutions in the operating room.

The Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN) has led the way as its Government Affairs department advocates for members, patients and the entire perioperative team by fighting daily for the issues that affect the profession and patient safety – and by promoting policies and programs to advance the agenda of perioperative nursing. Surgical smoke evacuation is one of the cornerstones of this policy agenda (see this recent Outpatient Surgery Magazine article: Your Smoke Evacuation Legislation Playbook for 2025 | Outpatient Surgery Magazine)

The ambulatory facilities who have taken on a multitude of surgical procedures that create smoke on a regular basis in their operating rooms require up-to-date tools and techniques to keep their staff safe and the patient journey safe as well. Finding the right equipment and training staff members in how to use this equipment is a priority, especially in the states that have passed smoke legislation so far.

There are a number of companies that focus on smoke evacuation tools, some of which are part of larger safety packages. Here are some organizations that specialize in this important area and provide options that are both cost-effective and non-intrusive in the OR environment.

The Integration Solution that Tailors Your OR Experience

Northgate Technologies, Inc.

The Nebulae 1 50 LPM Insufflation System from Northgate Technologies, Inc. (NTI) provides higher clinical performance when you need it most. This cost-effective insufflation system allows surgeons to enhance their procedure at any time – so you don’t need to commit to an expensive setup at the beginning of the operation.

• Maintain a stable pneumo with high-flow smoke evacuation.
• Adjustable pressure settings accommodate pediatric to bariatric laparoscopic and robotic procedures.
• Luer-lock connection allows for any standard trocar connection.

The Easy Way to Stop Smoking in the OR

Stryker Surgical Technologies

Free your ORs from harmful surgical plume with Stryker's expanded Neptune SafeAir smoke evacuation portfolio. The new easy-to-use SafeAir Compact Smoke Evacuator quietly sucks the plume through a ULPA filter that cleans the air of hazardous particles. Pair it with the new SafeAir Telescopic Smoke Evacuation Pencil; the electrode and suction tube can telescope out to 4.75 inches. When you don't need the telescoping function, use the SafeAir Smoke Evacuation Pencil. Product trials available.

Leave the Status Quo Behind

Northgate Technologies, Inc.

Minimize smoke exposure in the OR while maintaining pneumoperitoneum stability, visibility, performance and safety with Nebulae SRS laparoscopic surgical smoke removal system from Northgate Technologies, Inc. Nebulae SRS uses an innovative closed-loop system that forms a seamless extension of the pneumoperitoneum to actively filter and capture contaminants while warming recirculated CO2 gas; avoids excess usage of CO2 gas and exchange of CO2 gas cylinders due to smoke evacuation.
