In the Operating Theatre OLD
Innovative technology to reduce environmental impact
The CONTRAfluran™ system is simple to install and space-efficient, so it’s easy to use in a hospital or ambulatory operating theatre.1
When using CONTRAfluran™, the anesthesia machine needs to be run in passive mode. Contact your anesthesia machine manufacturer for guidance on running in passive mode.2
Since both Suprane (desflurane, USP) and sevoflurane can be captured in one canister, clinicians can move freely between the two gases, based on what is clinically best for the patient.1
Audible and visual alarms indicate when a canister is full. Canisters can be changed during surgery; we recommend having an empty canister near the anesthesia machine to facilitate replacement mid-surgery.1, 2

By installing the CONTRAfluranTM Anesthetic Gas Capture System in our operating theatres, we are taking the lead in an important, international environmental sustainability initiative. We hope our experiences with the gas capture technology will encourage the national hospital community to implement the gas capture technology in their hospitals and take their environmental responsibility seriously.
