ST. LOUIS, June 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Allied
Healthcare Products, Inc. (Nasdaq: AHPI) today announced
introduction of Litholyme™, a new premium carbon dioxide absorbent
that provides enhanced patient safety over conventional absorbents
in anesthesia procedures.
"Litholyme features a patented formulation that eliminates the
safety issues commonly associated with conventional carbon dioxide
absorbents, yet it has been developed in such a manner that it can
be offered at a similar price to conventional or non-premium
absorbents," said Jack Dabrowski,
senior product manager.
"Other premium carbon dioxide absorbents that exist in the
market today also provide increased safety but are much more costly
than conventional absorbents, limiting their adoption in hospitals.
We expect that Litholyme's balance of performance, safety and
cost will broaden the use of this safer formulation," Dabrowski
said.
