Litholyme^® is a new CO2 absorbent that eliminates the common concerns with traditional soda lime based products in that it eliminates the potential for production of compound A, carbon monoxide, and excessive heat. Its patented formula does not contain any NaOH or KOH, and features a permanent color change that will not revert over time.
Suitable for low flow applications, Litholyme is minimally exothermic, and its patented formula does not interact with sevoflurane or other commonly used inhalation anesthetic agents, even under fully desiccated conditions.
Litholyme features a permanent and profound white-to-violet color change that will indicate exhaustion or desiccation, eliminating the possibility for inadvertent use of expended product. Additionally, the violet color of exhausted or desiccated product will not fade or revert over time.
