Recycling solutions for Heart Lung Oxygenators

Heart lung oxygenators are critical single-use medical devices that enable life-saving cardiac surgeries, but their complex polymer construction and regulatory requirements create significant waste disposal challenges for healthcare facilities. With over 800,000 cardiac procedures annually requiring these devices, the accumulated medical waste represents both an environmental burden and a missed opportunity to recover valuable biocompatible materials while ensuring compliance with 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 Heart Lung Oxygenator?

Most oxygenators are substantial medical devices, but material-rich. A typical unit contains:

Medical-grade polysulfone
45%
Housing and structural components requiring biocompatibility
Hollow fiber membranes
25%
Gas exchange surfaces made from specialized polymers
Stainless steel
15%
Blood connectors and fittings
Biocompatible adhesives
8%
Potting compounds and sealing materials
Polyurethane tubing
5%
Blood pathway components
Other
2%
Packaging and miscellaneous components

This composition, especially the medical-grade polysulfone and hollow fiber membranes, makes heart lung oxygenators ideal candidates for structured take-back programs.

Heart Lung Oxygenator Recycling Process: Step by Step

Recycling sounds simple — doing it consistently and compliantly across regions is complex. Resourcify sets up and runs scalable take-back programs worldwide, connecting companies, processors, dismantlers, logistics and recyclers in one platform.

Medical Waste Collection

Secure collection from cardiac surgery centers following strict medical waste protocols and chain of custody requirements.

Sterilization & Decontamination

Advanced sterilization processes to eliminate biological contamination while preserving material integrity for recycling.

Device Disassembly

Controlled dismantling to separate blood-contacting components from recyclable housing and structural materials.

Material Sorting & Classification

Precise separation of polysulfone, steel components, and specialized polymers using advanced identification systems.

Processing & Purification

Cleaning and processing of recovered materials to meet medical-grade specifications for secondary applications.

Quality Control & Certification

Rigorous testing and certification of recycled materials for approved medical or industrial applications.
