SageTech Medical is pleased to announce the signing of a distribution agreement with Draeger Medical UK Ltd.

The agreement paves the way for Draeger UK’s NHS Supply Chain customers to purchase SageTech’s leading anaesthetic gas capture machine.

SageTech Medical launched the SID-Dock waste anaesthetic gas capture machine in January 2023, which is a UKCA Marked, Class 1 Medical Device for the safe and sustainable capture of volatile anaesthetic gases, addressing the unmet need to prevent 2% of NHS carbon emissions each year.

Iain Menneer, CEO of SageTech Medical said “This agreement makes it simple for our mutual NHS customers to gain access to our innovative gas capture technology. The agreement aims to accelerate our mission to help healthcare providers prevent the significant pollution caused from the use of these vital anaesthetic gases and reduce the raw materials used and associated carbon emission in their virgin manufacture”.

Matthew Bedford, Managing Director Sales & Service, Draeger UK & Ireland said “We are very pleased to enable Draeger’s UK customers to access SageTech’s gas capture solution to help in the ongoing challenge of reducing the potential environmental impact from waste anaesthetic gases. We have enjoyed our collaboration with the SageTech Medical team and look forward to this agreement supporting our customers to make significant steps towards Net Zero”.
