Recycling solutions for Clot Removal Catheters

Clot removal catheters are critical single-use medical devices containing valuable materials like stainless steel, nitinol, and specialized medical polymers. With over 500,000 procedures annually requiring these devices, the healthcare industry faces mounting pressure to responsibly manage this medical waste stream while recovering valuable materials and meeting increasingly strict medical waste regulations.

With Resourcify, manufacturers can run compliant take-back programs that:

Recover high-value materials
Reduce disposal costs and material purchasing costs by up to 35%
Meet regulation obligations with audit-grade reporting

What's Inside a Clot Removal Catheter?

Most catheters are lightweight, but material-rich. A typical unit contains:

Medical Polymers
65%
Specialized PTFE, polyurethane, and nylon compounds
Stainless Steel
20%
316L grade for guidewires and structural components
Nitinol
10%
Shape-memory alloy for retrieval mechanisms
Platinum Markers
3%
Radiopaque markers for imaging visibility
Other
2%
Adhesives, coatings, and contrast agents

This composition, especially the Medical Polymers and Stainless Steel, makes clot removal catheters ideal candidates for structured take-back programs.
