Soda lime effectively captures CO₂ emitted during anesthesia. This protects medical staff and patients from the harmful effects of volatile anesthetic compounds.

To optimize both safety and performance, we are the only manufacturer of anesthesia equipment that also develops and produces its own soda lime. The soda lime formula used in Dräger systems is developed to meet the latest requirements of anesthesia equipment.

The benefits of using Drägersorb 800+ include:

• increased efficiency, thanks to its uniform utilization and optimized performance
• significantly less dust, keeping staff, equipment, and patients safer
• less undesired reaction effects, even when unintentionally left to dry out
• improved handling thanks to user-friendly packaging

Safety you can see, results you can rely on. When working with patients in a critical environment, you need to be able to count on your equipment and accessories 100% of the time.

Our unique soda lime pellet design is the result of years of dedicated research and engineering. Drägersorb 800+ pellets are optimally shaped for consistent, effective absorption of CO₂. The highly porous, hemispherically-shaped pellets prevent channels from forming and optimize cartridge performance, lowering your costs in the long term.

Safeguarding the health and well-being of your staff and patients when administering anesthesia is crucial. Drägersorb 800+ pellets have a unique design and composition that enable them to resist abrasion, so they decrease the formation of dust particles which are harmful to high-tech anesthesia equipment. Their optimized shape ensures maximum safety and quality, protecting your patients, staff and equipment.

Drägersorb 800+ improves clinical outcomes while lowering costs of care. It was developed to help reduce build-up of decomposition substances that occur when soda lime accidentally dries out.¹ Plus, Drägersorb 800+ can be used with all halogenated inhalation anesthetic agents.

Equally important, fresh soda lime ensures that your patients breathe in safe air during narcosis therapy. Drägersorb 800+ gradually changes color from white to violet, giving staff a clear visual signal when it needs to be changed.

​To save you time and help you reduce costs, Drägersorb 800+ comes in our disposable Drägersorb CLIC absorber, which can be used in all of our modern Dräger anesthesia workstations. It is a fast, clean and simple single-use solution that offers you flexibility and high-quality results.

You and patient are protected by:

• Zero contact with the soda lime
• No exposure to dust
• Better use of absorber filling which you can change at any time, including during surgery, thanks to its non-return valve

Drägersorb 800+ is available in our disposable Drägersorb CLIC Free cartridge as well as in our 1.32-gallon (5-liter) refillable canister.

For anesthesia machines with blower technology, such as Zeus^® Infinity^® Empowered or Perseus^® A500 from Dräger, we recommend using a dust filter to protect the blower technology when using refillable soda lime absorbers.

​As a manufacturer of medical technology for over 130 years, we are committed to delivering excellent product quality. At the same time, we believe in taking responsibility in creating sustainable products.

We designed our Drägersorb products to combine patient safety with sustainability. That's why Drägersorb products are free of natural latex, PVC and phthalates, such as DEHP (which is possibly carcinogenic to humans²), and why production is located in Germany with sourcing from local suppliers in Europe to minimize our carbon footprint and environmental impact. We've also established a recycling program for soda lime in Germany which reduces CO₂ emissions (33 tons in 2021).

This is how we are doing our part to help protect the environment now and in the future.
