Get surgical saw blades back, recover Stainless Steel 316L, Tungsten Carbide & Chrome Alloy, and meet compliance across global markets — without operational headaches.
Surgical saw blades are essential disposable tools in orthopedic surgery, but their single-use nature creates substantial medical waste streams in healthcare facilities. With hospitals performing thousands of procedures annually, the accumulation of steel-rich medical devices presents both environmental challenges and missed recovery opportunities for valuable materials, while healthcare providers face increasing pressure to meet sustainability targets and manage waste disposal costs.
With Resourcify, manufacturers can run compliant take-back programs that:
Most blades are compact, but material-rich. A typical unit contains:
This composition, especially the Stainless Steel 316L and Tungsten Carbide, makes surgical saw blades ideal candidates for structured take-back programs.
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.
Used blades collected in sharps containers and segregated from other medical waste at healthcare facilities.
Complete sterilization using autoclaving to eliminate all biological contamination before processing.
Blades sorted by steel grade and separated from packaging materials using magnetic separation.
Sterilized blades are shredded and processed to recover high-grade stainless steel and tungsten carbide.
Recovered materials tested for purity and compliance with medical device manufacturing standards.
Clean steel fed back into medical device supply chain for new surgical instrument production.
