Get surgical smoke filters back, recover PVC tubing, filter media & plastic housing, and meet compliance across global markets — without operational headaches.
Surgical smoke filters are essential single-use medical devices that protect healthcare workers and patients from harmful surgical smoke during electrocautery procedures. With millions of procedures performed annually, these devices create significant medical waste streams that require specialized handling due to contamination concerns, yet contain valuable materials that could be recovered through proper take-back programs.
With Resourcify, manufacturers can run compliant take-back programs that:
Most filter sets are compact medical devices, but material-rich. A typical unit contains:
This composition, especially the PVC tubing and filter media, makes surgical smoke filters 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.
Post-procedure collection of used filter sets following hospital waste protocols for contaminated medical devices.
Autoclaving or gamma irradiation to eliminate biological contamination and ensure safe handling for recycling.
Disassembly to separate PVC tubing, filter media, plastic housings, and metal components for targeted processing.
Shredding and washing of PVC and plastic components to remove contaminants and prepare for reprocessing.
Specialized processing to recover activated carbon and separate HEPA materials for appropriate end-of-life handling.
Separation and processing of stainless steel components for clean metal recovery and reuse in manufacturing.
