Here at Shirley Aldred, we are the original manufacturers of the Cardiff Aldasorber. The Cardiff Aldasorber was born out of research by eminent anaesthesiologists of the Department of Anaesthetics at the Welsh National School of Medicine. Shirley Aldred Ltd was originally based in Worksop until the year 1990 when it relocated to its current home in the Hope Valley. The Cardiff Aldasorber presents an economic and clinically approved solution to the problems of pollution of the operating-room atmosphere by organic anaesthetic vapours, therefore offering protection to theatre personnel against possible long and short term harmful effects through chronic exposure.
