Buffalo Filter

Buffalo Filter is a global leader in surgical smoke evacuation technology, providing solutions to improve safety in the operating room. The company develops and manufactures advanced smoke evacuators, filters, and accessories designed to capture and filter hazardous surgical plume generated during electrosurgery and laser procedures. Their products, such as the ViroVac and PlumeSafe systems, are essential for protecting surgical staff and patients from the inhalation of potentially harmful biological and chemical particles. In 2018, the company was acquired by Medline Industries, integrating its specialized portfolio into Medline's broader surgical solutions offering. Buffalo Filter's innovations include RFID-equipped filters and specialized laparoscopic smoke management tools. The brand remains a key component of Medline's commitment to perioperative safety and clinical excellence.
