Low-flow anesthesia can offer significant environmental, economic, and safety benefits. However, traditional CO₂ absorbents have long stood in the way.

Traditional granular absorbents give off toxic byproducts like Carbon Monoxide and Compound A, which prevent clinicians from utilizing true low-flow anesthesia. Performance is also compromised with traditional granulated absorbents due to dust generation and reduced canister lifespan.

A 2021 article referenced studies that compared the SpiraLithCa® Absorbent by Micropore to traditional CO₂ absorbents used in inhalation anesthesia. An in vitro study found that SpiraLithCa® absorbent was the most efficient of 16 Ca(OH)₂-based absorbents, lasting 100 minutes per 100 mL. SpiraLithCa’s® solid cartridge and molded flow channels improved gas contact and prevented channeling.¹

SpiraLithCa® by Micropore is a breakthrough powered by Solid Absorbent Technology™.
