Disclosed herein is a surgical cannula configured as an instrument retaining or centering apparatus, configured for providing insufflation gases to a surgical cavity of a patient (such as the pneumoperitoneum) and allowing insertion of medical instruments into the surgical cavity through the cannula. The cannula can include features to direct gas flow in particular directions to prevent or reduce smoke, fog/condensation, or other unwanted media from contacting a portion of a medical instrument.

Directed gas flow surgical cannula for providing gases to a patient

Filters for surgical procedures including a fluid pathway to transport fluid, such as smoke and/or gases, exhausted from a surgical site, a humidity regulating element located along the fluid pathway, and a filter element located downstream of the humidity regulating element such that the humidity regulating element and the filter element are in fluid communication with each other. The humidity regulating element is configured to remove or reduce humidity from the smoke and/or gases exhausted from the surgical site prior to the smoke and/or gases reaching the filter element. The filter element is configured to filter particulate matter from the smoke and/or gases exhausted from the surgical site.
