China Suppliers 0.2 Micron CO2 Insufflation Filter for Insufflation Tubing Sets | Factory Direct Quality
Product Introduction
Insufflation filters are integral components of insufflation tubing sets and are routinely utilized during laparoscopic surgery. Incorporating specially designed 0.2-micron two-side PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) membranes which means both faces of the membrane are PTFE, these gas filters are hydrophobic on both sides with exactly the same physical properties and desired performance, and the custom-made 0.2μm PTFE membrane allows adequate airflow to pass through while effectively blocks liquids, bacteria, aerosolized particles and other microorganisms with 99.9% efficiency, preventing any potential introduction of harmful contaminants into the CO2 insufflator systems, reducing the risk of infections that could compromise patient health or equipment functionality.
As a hydrophobic filter for filtration of the insufflation gas, CO2 Insufflation filter plays a vital role in preventing bacterial and viral contamination from possible backflow, protecting both equipment and patient. And engineered to meet high standards of quality and compatibility, the insufflator filters we offer can be seamlessly integrated into various hospital insufflation systems, providing reliable filtration that upholds the integrity of the insufflator's functionality.
Features
- 0.2μm hydrophobic membrane filter
- Bacterial and viral retention
- Fluid backflow prevention
- High and stable flow rate
- Liquid barrier with high WBT pressure rating
- Equipment and patient protection
- Compatible with most insufflators
Warnings
- Handle with care to avoid damaging the filter material.
- Sterilization by irradiation is not recommended.
- Do not use glue or cyclohexanone for joining with housing as it will clog the material itself, preventing gas from passing through.
- Avoid contact with alcohol or highly permeable solvents, otherwise, the material will become hydrophilic before it fully dries.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the filtration efficiency of the insufflation gas filter?
The filter features a custom-made 0.2μm PTFE membrane that effectively blocks liquids, bacteria, aerosolized particles, and other microorganisms with a 99.9% filtration efficiency.
How does the two-side PTFE membrane design benefit laparoscopic surgery?
Both faces of the membrane are PTFE, making it hydrophobic on both sides with identical physical properties. This structure ensures stable, high airflow while acting as a reliable barrier to prevent contamination backflow.
Can I use standard adhesives to assemble the filter housing?
No. You should not use glue or cyclohexanone for joining the housing, as these substances will clog the PTFE material and prevent gas from passing through.
Why should contact with alcohol or solvents be avoided?
Contact with alcohol or highly permeable solvents will temporarily turn the hydrophobic membrane hydrophilic before it completely dries, which compromises its fluid-blocking capabilities.
Are these filters compatible with existing hospital insufflators?
Yes, these insufflator filters are engineered to meet high quality and compatibility standards, allowing them to integrate seamlessly with most hospital insufflation systems.
