Smoke evacuation instrument with illumination nozzle

A smoke evacuation system, comprising:

• a suction conduit configured to connect to a source of vacuum;
• and
• a nozzle defining a lumen in fluid communication with the suction conduit such that the source of vacuum, when activated, suctions surgical smoke through the lumen of the nozzle and the suction conduit, the nozzle configured to transmit light from a light source through the nozzle and out of a distal end portion of the nozzle to form a light path illuminating therefrom,
• wherein the distal end portion of the nozzle is configured to direct light toward a central longitudinal axis of the nozzle.
