A modular access medical system configured to enable a surgeon to conduct a medical procedure in fluid contained within a defined space is disclosed. As such, the system increases visibility to an operating surgeon by eliminating smoke and other vapors formed during use of a medical instrument at the surgical site. The modular access medical system may be formed from a distal end of a cannula configured to be placed into contact with tissue such that fluid can be administered within the cannula and retained therein to facilitate a surgical procedure to be conducted via one or more instruments extending through fluid contained within the cannula.

Nanostructured chemicals such as polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes, polyhedral oligomeric silicates, and polyhedral oligomeric metallasesquioxanes are attached to living and nonliving systems as biomaterials to provide a nanoscopic topology that favors biomimetic function and cellular modulation. The resulting surface is nanoscopically thin, nanoscopically dispersed, provides systematic chemistry, surface area, surface volume, surface topology, and is essentially free of impurities, and has controllable properties through selection of composition, R groups, nanostructure size and topology. Highly shape specific and chemically tailorable nanostructured molecules are sized to biological material dimensions and are compatible with all sterilization methods.
