Capture volatile anesthetic agents effectively and protect healthcare workers.
Volatile anesthetic drugs are used a lot, and the global market for them is worth $1.3 billion each year. Both financially and in terms of the environment, it costs a lot to make the drugs. In practice, when a patient breathes out, the drugs are released into the air. This is very bad for the environment because it causes 3.1 million tons of CO2 equivalents to be released into the air every year. SageTech’s solution stops this release into the air, collects the drug that is exhaled, and cleans it so that it can be used again by people. Around 5% of the drug is broken down in the body, so recovery rates are very high. The solution is to use a system for collecting and cleaning water that is based on sustainability. Working with pressure keeps our instruments small, and we don’t use any organic solvents in our process. SageTech’s solution saves hospitals a lot of money on infrastructure setup and maintenance by getting rid of the need for expensive air extraction systems to move exhaled drugs from operating rooms to the chimney.
