Recycling solutions for TAVR Catheters

TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement) catheters are sophisticated medical devices containing valuable metals and precision-engineered components. With increasing TAVR procedure volumes globally, hospitals and cardiac centers face mounting pressure to manage these single-use devices responsibly while recovering valuable materials and meeting stringent 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 TAVR Catheter?

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

Stainless Steel
45%
Delivery catheter shaft and structural components
Nitinol
25%
Shape memory alloy for valve frame and guidewires
Medical Grade Polymers
18%
Catheter tubing, seals and gaskets
Tungsten
8%
Radiopaque markers and contrast elements
Platinum
3%
Electrode components and radiopaque coils
Other
1%
Packaging and miscellaneous materials

This composition, especially the platinum and tungsten, makes tavr catheters ideal candidates for structured take-back programs.

TAVR Catheter 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 Sterilization

Used catheters undergo certified sterilization to eliminate biological contamination before processing.

Disassembly & Sorting

Catheters are systematically disassembled to separate metals, polymers, and electronic components.

Metal Recovery

Precious metals like platinum and tungsten are extracted using specialized separation techniques.

Alloy Processing

Nitinol and stainless steel components are processed into reusable medical-grade materials.

Polymer Recycling

Medical polymers are cleaned and processed for appropriate secondary applications.
