Increasingly large volumes of clinical waste are being incinerated by hospitals each year, a large percentage of this waste is from plastic materials. Hospitals are constantly under pressure to achieve cost savings and make improvements.

Surgical Innovations have been leading the way in the reduction of plastic disposal since 1992.

Reduce single use plastics
The innovative design of Surgical Innovations Resposable™ product ranges provide a high quality reusable instrument with the clinical benefits of a small disposable element. Providing the solution for Hospitals looking to reduce costs and waste whilst maintaining reliability and quality.

Surgical Innovations Resposable™ products reduce waste by 70% * compared to expensive, fully disposable alternatives.

Fraction of waste
Disposing of a small item dramatically reduces the volume of waste and cost of disposal for the Hospital. The recurring cost of the small disposable element is also much less than a fully disposable device, providing two cost saving benefits.

Surgical Innovations are partnered with the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare and proudly support their efforts in the UK (and globally) to reduce the environmental impact of plastic waste in surgery.

The Centre for Sustainable Healthcare is an independent registered charity. Established in 2008, it works to help the NHS fulfil its commitment to reach net zero by 2045. “Delivering a ‘Net Zero’ national health service.” It is now the one of the foremost institutions in the world working on sustainable healthcare in research and practice.

In celebration of UK hospitals taking steps to reduce plastic waste by moving to Resposable™ devices, Elemental Healthcare (a subsidiary of Surgical Innovations) have pledged to plant trees in the ‘NHS Forest’. This means that by making the decision to move to this sustainable healthcare solution the hospital will not only experience significant reductions in plastic waste, but the planting of trees in the NHS forest also provides health, social and environmental benefits.
