About Surgi Smoke Solutions

Surgi Smoke Solutions is pioneering the future of operating room air safety through our hands-free smoke and bioaerosol capture technology. Our Flamingo Funnel family of devices outperforms traditional smoke evacuation pens—removing nearly twice as much smoke—while offering a compact, unobtrusive footprint optimized for modern surgical workflows.

At Surgi Smoke, our mission is to deliver cleaner air, clearer vision, and safer operating rooms, while helping facilities comply with smoke evacuation mandates and standards (AORN, OSHA, state-level requirements).

As we continue to expand, we seek a dedicated clinical professional who can champion our technology in the OR, educate users, and translate clinical insights into product and process improvements.
