Recycling solutions for Vessel Sealers

Vessel sealers are critical single-use surgical instruments containing valuable steel alloys and medical-grade polymers. With millions used annually across healthcare facilities, most end up in medical waste streams despite containing recoverable materials worth €2-4 per unit. Current disposal methods miss opportunities for material recovery while creating compliance challenges around medical waste management and sustainability reporting.

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 Vessel Sealer?

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

Stainless Steel
45%
High-grade surgical steel in jaw mechanism
Medical Polymers
35%
PEEK, POM, and other specialty plastics
Electronics
12%
Circuit boards and sensors in advanced models
Copper
5%
Wiring and electrical contacts
Other Metals
3%
Connectors and small components

This composition, especially the stainless steel and medical polymers, makes vessel sealers ideal candidates for structured take-back programs.

Vessel Sealer 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.

Collection & Segregation

Separate used sealers from other medical waste following healthcare facility protocols.

Sterilization

Steam sterilization at 134°C to eliminate biological contaminants and ensure safety.

Material Separation

Disassemble units to separate steel, polymers, electronics, and other materials.

Steel Processing

Stainless steel components melted and refined for medical-grade steel production.

Polymer Recovery

Medical-grade plastics cleaned and processed for remanufacturing applications.
