Abstract
An electrosurgical smoke evacuation pencil includes a handle housing, a suction conduit, an electrode, and a nozzle. The handle housing has a proximal end portion and a distal end portion and defines a lumen therethrough. The suction conduit is coupled to the handle housing and is configured to couple the electrosurgical pencil to a smoke evacuator. The electrode extends from the distal end portion of the handle housing and is configured to couple to a source of electrosurgical energy. The nozzle extends from the distal end portion of the handle housing and defines a lumen in fluid communication with the lumen of the handle housing. The nozzle is configured to transmit light from a light source through the nozzle and out of a distal end of the nozzle to form a light path illuminating therefrom.
