Spherasorb Medical Soda Lime

Spherasorb Medical Soda Lime

Spherasorb Medical Soda Lime is a high-quality, medical-grade absorbent designed for use in veterinary and clinical anaesthesia systems. Its advanced chemical formulation has been specifically developed to address the demands of medical environments, ensuring reliable carbon dioxide absorption and consistent performance during procedures.

Key Features

• Absorbs carbon dioxide effectively in breathing systems
• Low sodium hydroxide content reduces unwanted reactions
• Retains moisture to prevent drying out
• Minimises dust with uniform spherical granules
• Meets USP and BP medical standards

Engineered for safety and efficiency, Spherasorb helps maintain optimal gas conditions within rebreathing systems, supporting effective ventilation and patient care. Its controlled composition reduces the risks associated with traditional soda lime formulations, making it a trusted choice for clinical use.

With a low sodium hydroxide content of just 1.5%, Spherasorb minimises the potential for compound degradation and unwanted by-products. The inclusion of zeolite helps retain moisture within the absorbent, reducing the risk of drying out and maintaining consistent performance over time.

Manufactured as uniform 3–4mm spheres, Spherasorb is processed to minimise dust formation, helping improve handling and reduce contamination within anaesthesia circuits. This consistent structure also promotes efficient gas flow and absorption across the material.

Spherasorb has a long-established history of use within anaesthesia and meets the standards set by both the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) and the British Pharmacopoeia (BP), ensuring compliance with recognised medical guidelines.
