Sevoflurane
Designed with a lined aluminium container for optimal product protection and recyclability.
With 16+ years on the market* and more than 60 million patients anesthetized in more than 60 countries worldwide1, Baxter sevoflurane is a well-proven anesthetic. Baxter offers a wide variety of tested vaporizers to choose from, and flexible plans to have the right equipment in your hospital. Baxter sevoflurane’s aluminum container effectively protects sevoflurane from degradation via interaction with Lewis acids.1,2

Degradation by Lewis acids
Degradation of sevoflurane due to interaction with Lewis acids can occur via contamination with strong Lewis acids and via exposure to etched glass containers.2-4 Once started, the degradation process accelerates over time.3

Sevoflurane’s aluminium container offers effective protection to avoid degradation
Baxter sevoflurane’s aluminum container is designed for long-term container exposure.1 The epoxyphenolic-lined aluminium container does not react with the product and, unlike glass, cannot participate in a cascading degradation reaction initiated by Lewis acids.
Aluminum for optimal protection and recyclability
Baxter sevoflurane is packaged in a high-purity aluminum container with an inert polymeric resin liner. This container has been demonstrated not to interact with sevoflurane, ensuring product stability throughout the product’s shelf-life.2
- Baxter’s sevoflurane aluminium container may reduce the safety hazards that come with cracked or broken bottles—including the risk of anaesthetic leaks or exposure.
- Baxter’s sevoflurane aluminium container is designed to be easy to handle and easy to use. The smaller, lighter bottle1 facilitates smooth handling for the filling of vaporisers.
- Baxter’s sevoflurane aluminium container is recyclable and more than 7oz lighter than glass bottles1—which may result in easier transport and lower waste management costs.
No storage restrictions and efficient usage
Unlike other similar anesthetic products, Baxter sevoflurane has no restrictions in terms of storage conditions.5
Baxter’s integrated valve is permanently attached, removing the need for an adaptor and any associated manipulations.6,7 When you don’t have to worry about extra steps or accidentally disposing of adaptors, you may be able to improve your process in the OR. With an integrated system, you don’t have to be concerned with spilled product. The bottle is ready as-is and you can use the same bottle throughout its shelf life—until it’s empty.
