CO2 Absorbents

Spherasorb’s chemical formulation has been developed specifically to address the potential problems of use within the medical environment.

Features and Benefits

• Only 1.5 % Sodium Hydroxide.
• Zeolite to reduce the risk of drying out.
• Spherasorb is made of 3-4mm spheres processed to minimise potential dusting.

Carbolime carbon dioxide absorbent is a granular soda lime based compound intended for the efficient removal of carbon dioxide from closed and semi - closed patient breathing circuits without the use of potassium hydroxide (KOH).

Carbolime contains a precise mixture of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2, water, and a small amount of sodium hydroxide (NaOH), with ethyl violet indicator dye to provide white-to-violet color change upon exhaustion.

Available in several convenient package sizes, Carbolime is supplied as hard, irregularly shaped granules that have been processed to minimize dust formation from friction. Carbolime has a moisture content of 12-19%, and is manufactured with a hardness and porosity which delivers dependable, efficient CO2 absorption.

A uniquely designed medical grade CO2 absorbent that contains no Alkali Hydroxide.

LoFloSorb eliminates the risk associated with reactions with volatile anaesthetics.

Features and Benefits

• LoFloSorb contains no Potassium Hydroxide and no Sodium Hydroxide.
• LoFloSorb is made of 3-4mm spheres processed to minimise potential dusting.
• LoFloSorb offers a very stable green to violet colour change.

LoFloSorb’s chemical formulation has been developed to provide CO2 absorption without the need for any alkali hydroxide. It provides complete protection against the potential problems of use within the medical environment. LoFloSorb offers excellent CO2 absorption, however, its duration of use will be less than Spherasorb or Intersorb Plus.

Litholyme CO₂ absorbent eliminates the potential for production of compound A, carbon monoxide and excessive heat. Permanent white to violet color change.

Intersorb Plus is a medical soda lime Carbon Dioxide absorbent comprised of short porous 3mm diameter strands.

Intersorb Plus is a 3% Sodium Hydroxide soda lime.

Intersorb Plus is entirely suitable as a CO₂ absorbent for medical use within anesthesia.

• Capnocheck® Plus/Sleep
• Carbon Dioxide Detector
• (Internal) Advisor® Vital Signs Monitor (External) (9212S only)

Spherasorb® chemical formulation has been developed specifically to address the potential problems of use within the medical environment.

Features:

• Only 1.5 % Sodium Hydroxide.
• Zeolite to reduce the risk of drying out.
• Spherasorb is made of 3-4mm spheres processed to minimise potential dusting.

Spherasorb has a long history of use within anaesthesia and meets all the requirements of the United States and British Pharmacopoeias.

Spherasorb® chemical formulation has been developed to provide complete protection against the potential problems of use within the medical environment, while maintaining the highest possible CO2 capacity.

Medical-grade SODASORB® (soda lime USP-NF) is the original CO2 absorbent and has been the worldwide market leader for nearly eighty years. SODASORB® is specially designed to provide exceptional CO2 absorption performance, superior color indication contrast, and optimal resistance to dusting. SODASORB® absorbent is intended for use in anesthesia circle systems and respiratory therapy equipment for the purpose of removing exhaled carbon dioxide. SODASORB® makes it possible for intended in-line gases to be rebreathed by the patient.
