Sustainable Medical Devices: A Video Laryngoscope Case Study
Abstract
The requirement for innovative solutions to meet sustainability needs is clear and urgent. Medical devices are an appropriate target as healthcare has been estimated to contribute up to 4.4% of global emissions. The author presents a case study seeking a credible sustainability benefit for a novel medical device. Materials of construction, renewable sources, and end fate are discussed. To move towards circularity, closed loop recycling of single use medical devices is demonstrated, and factors around further scale up discussed.
