Drägersorb 800+

Drägersorb® 800+ Soda Lime CO2 Absorber | Trusted Supplier — JP Biochem Botswana
Draegersorb 800 plus soda lime is Dräger's high-performance CO2 absorbent specifically developed for use with modern anaesthesia machines — engineered not just to absorb carbon dioxide, but to do so more efficiently, more safely, and with less risk to patients, staff, and equipment than conventional soda lime. Draegersorb 800 plus offers high CO2 absorption capacity without forming compound A or carbon monoxide, reduces dust formation, and eliminates decomposition products, with full compatibility with Dräger anaesthesia machines and availability in user-friendly, disposable CLIC canisters. Draeger
As the only manufacturer of anaesthesia machines that also develops and produces its own soda lime, Dräger brings a uniquely integrated approach to CO2 absorption — ensuring that every batch of Draegersorb 800 plus is optimised specifically for the performance characteristics of Dräger anaesthesia workstations.

Unique Hemispherical Pellet Design — Maximum Absorption, Zero Channelling
The performance difference between Draegersorb 800 plus and conventional soda lime begins with pellet geometry. Years of dedicated research and engineering resulted in Dräger's unique soda lime pellet design. The hemispherically-shaped pellet with its high porosity allows for optimised cartridge performance and is designed to prevent channel formations, resulting in even and effective absorption of CO2 across the entire canister volume. LITFL
Channel formation — where exhaled gas finds the path of least resistance through the canister rather than passing through the full absorption medium — is one of the primary causes of premature soda lime exhaustion and unexpectedly elevated CO2 rebreathing. By engineering against channelling at the pellet level, Draegersorb 800 plus delivers longer canister life and more consistent CO2 absorption throughout each canister's working life.

Significantly Less Dust — Protecting Patients, Staff and Equipment
Drägersorb 800 plus pellets have a unique design and composition that enables them to resist abrasion, thus decreasing the formation of dust particles. This helps protect the lungs of both the patient and anaesthesia staff, and protects valuable high-tech anaesthesia machines from contamination. LITFL
Soda lime dust in the breathing circuit is a genuine clinical and equipment risk — fine particles can reach the patient's lower airways, contaminate flow sensors, and damage the precision components of modern anaesthesia workstations. The low-dust performance of Draegersorb 800 plus directly addresses all three of these risks simultaneously.

Colour-Change Indicator — Safety You Can See
A change in colour from white to violet-blue clearly indicates when the soda lime needs to be changed, giving anaesthesia providers an unambiguous, at-a-glance signal that does not require any interpretation or measurement. This visual indicator supports the routine workflow of busy theatre teams and reduces the risk of inadvertently using exhausted soda lime. clinicaltrials

Reduced Decomposition Products — Safer When Accidentally Dried Out
Draegersorb 800 plus provides increased efficiency with uniform utilisation and optimised performance, significantly less dust to keep staff, equipment and patients safer, less undesired reaction effects even when unintentionally left to dry out, improved handling through user-friendly packaging, and is free of natural latex, PVC and phthalates including DEHP. Intersurgical
The reduced decomposition product formation when dried out is a particularly important safety feature — accidental desiccation of soda lime is a well-documented cause of toxic by-product generation in anaesthesia circuits, and Draegersorb 800 plus's formulation provides a meaningful margin of safety when this occurs.

Compatible with All Halogenated Inhalation Anaesthetic Agents
Draegersorb 800 plus may be used with all halogenated inhalation anaesthetic agents. This universal agent compatibility — covering sevoflurane, desflurane, isoflurane, and others — means a single soda lime product can serve every anaesthetic protocol in the operating theatre, simplifying procurement and eliminating the need for agent-specific absorbents. clinicaltrials

Drägersorb CLIC Canister — Quick, Clean, Disposable
Drägersorb used with all modern Dräger anaesthesia machines in the disposable CLIC absorber format delivers a quick, clean, and uncomplicated disposable solution. Quick changeover means greater time-convenience for anaesthesia staff. nih
The Infinity ID CLIC Absorber 800+ disposable 1.2 l format is available for use with all modern Dräger anaesthesia workstations, combining the performance of Draegersorb 800 plus with the workflow advantages of the CLIC disposable system — no emptying, no refilling, no mess. LITFL

Manufactured in Germany — Sustainable Production
Products are free of natural latex and do not contain PVC or phthalates. Production is located in Germany with sourcing from local suppliers in Europe to minimise the carbon footprint and related environmental impact. Dräger has also established a recycling programme for soda lime in Germany, saving 33 tons of CO2 emissions in 2021. LITFL
