Piramal Critical Care und Blue

An overseas subsidiary of Piramal Pharma Limited, and Blue-Zone Technologies Ltd. (Blue-Zone) announced an agreement to collaborate on full lifecycle technology to capture and recycle waste anaesthetic gases.

By combining the innovative waste anaesthesia gas capture, collection, and processing technology developed by Blue-Zone, with the global manufacturing and marketing capabilities of Piramal, this collaboration will support customers’ efforts to minimize the environmental impact of volatile anaesthetics.  This collaboration will also help ensure that these essential products remain the primary method of providing general anaesthesia for patients around the world.

Pending regulatory approval in Europe of Blue-Zone’s Phoenix Deltasorb® waste anaesthetic gas capture system, Blue-Zone will offer these systems to PCC’s customers in Europe, initially in France and Germany. Blue-Zone will be responsible for all activities involving the supply and use of its systems in healthcare facilities. PCC will process captured waste anaesthetic gas using Blue-Zone’s technology to produce Sevoflurane USP for human use in Canada.

The parties anticipate that the scope of the waste anaesthetic gas capture, collection and recycling, and the marketing of Sevoflurane USP using waste anaesthetic gas, will expand into additional geographies.

Jeff Hampton, President and COO Piramal Critical Care, commented:

“Piramal Critical Care is proud to partner with Blue-Zone on this innovative waste anaesthetic gas capture, collection, and recycling technology to help reduce waste and minimize environmental impact. By introducing gas capture technology, hospitals can choose the inhaled anaesthetic that best meets clinical needs while also supporting more sustainable healthcare goals.

Inhaled anaesthetics are vitally important medicines that enable essential treatment for patients around the world. As a leading global manufacturer of general anaesthesia products, Piramal Pharma is committed to supporting clinicians, hospitals, and health systems with solutions that balance clinical performance and environmental responsibility. Our focus is to ensure that patients continue to receive the critical care they need while advancing more sustainable approaches to anaesthesia.”
