Problem
Operating rooms release anesthetic gases that are potent greenhouse gases, contributing to climate change and exposing healthcare staff to harmful air quality. Hospitals must reduce these emissions to meet environmental regulations while ensuring patient safety.
Solution
Resthetics offers a patented system that captures, stores, recycles, and reuses anesthetic gases directly from the operating room exhaust. The technology removes up to 99.5% of the gases before they enter the atmosphere, significantly lowering greenhouse gas emissions and improving indoor air quality for clinicians. Captured gases are purified and returned to the anesthesia delivery system, maintaining the required dosage and patient safety. By integrating the system into existing OR infrastructure, hospitals can achieve compliance with environmental standards without altering clinical workflows.
Target Audience
Primary customers are hospitals and surgical centers seeking to reduce their environmental impact and improve operating room air quality while maintaining safe anesthesia delivery.
