Get surgical knives back, recover stainless steel, carbon steel & other metals, and meet compliance across global markets — without operational headaches.
Single-use surgical knives accumulate rapidly in healthcare facilities, creating significant medical waste streams. With stringent contamination protocols and valuable stainless steel content, these instruments require specialized handling to recover materials while maintaining compliance with medical waste regulations and enabling sustainable surgical operations.
With Resourcify, manufacturers can run compliant take-back programs that:
Most scalpels are small, but material-rich. A typical unit contains:
This composition, especially the stainless steel and carbon steel, makes surgical knives ideal candidates for structured take-back programs.
