- Soda Lime is used to absorb expired CO2 during Anesthesia (in Operation Theatres).
- Soda Lime is a Carbon Dioxide absorbent of choice for major hospitals in India & across the world.
- The major applications of Soda Lime are in breathable gas applications where Carbon Dioxide levels need to be controlled, for example in medical anesthetic breathing circuits. In these applications, the breathable air is recirculated for re-use and therefore any exhaled carbon dioxide needs to be removed in order to prevent a build-up of carbon dioxide to toxic levels.
- Soda Lime has application in Anesthetic systems in the medical operations to remove expelled Carbon dioxide due to respiration carried out by the patient or the user.
