Intersurgical’s filter range is colour coded for ease of identification and to ensure the correct filter/HME is used at the correct position within the breathing system, minimising any potential risk to the patient.

Intersurgical sodalime
The absorbency capacity of Spherasorb™ means that fewer kilos are used per hour of anaesthesia than many other absorbents and production waste is also recycled back into usable soda lime, reducing the amount of waste and lowering the overall environmental impact.
