Single-use 0.2 Micron CO2 Insufflation Filter - Quality Factory Supplies from China Suppliers
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.

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 primary function of a CO2 insufflation filter?
The primary function is to prevent bacterial, viral, and liquid contamination from possible backflow during laparoscopic surgery, thereby protecting both the patient and the medical equipment.
What type of membrane is used in these filters?
These filters incorporate a custom-made 0.2-micron double-sided PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) membrane. Both faces of the membrane are PTFE, making them hydrophobic on both sides with identical physical properties.
How efficient is the filtration membrane against microorganisms?
The 0.2μm PTFE membrane is highly efficient, blocking liquids, bacteria, aerosolized particles, and other microorganisms with a 99.9% efficiency rating.
Can these insufflation filters be sterilized using irradiation?
No, sterilization by irradiation is not recommended for these filters as it may compromise the integrity of the filter materials.
Are these filters compatible with standard hospital equipment?
Yes, they are engineered to meet high standards of quality and compatibility, allowing them to be seamlessly integrated into most hospital CO2 insufflator systems.
Why should contact with alcohol or solvents be avoided?
Contact with alcohol or highly permeable solvents must be avoided because they can cause the hydrophobic PTFE membrane to become hydrophilic before it completely dries, which compromises its filtration performance.
