Carbon Dioxide Absorbents for Medical Applications-High-Tech Materials

Medical grade carbon dioxide absorbents need to fulfill all the safety criteria for absorbents so that there is minimal risk of the absorbent drying out or occurrence of volatile reactions leading to toxic by products that might turn critical to patient's life during surgeries. Recent product developments have a higher safety record and ability to prevent unwarranted reactions when compared to standard soda lime formulations.
