SunCycle Laryngoscope Recycling Program

Laryngoscope
Recycling Program
Thinking beyond use.
When you use disposable laryngoscopes from
SunMed, you are promoting better patient care by
reducing the risk of cross-contamination. Plus, you are
eliminating the harmful chemicals that would normally
be used for laryngoscope reprocessing. Thinking
beyond use, SunMed supports the care of our
environment through SunCycle, an easy and effective
program to recycle disposable laryngoscope blades
and handles. SunCycle is available to facilities who use
SunMed single patient use laryngoscope systems.
With SunCycle, you can help reduce waste,
create a healthier community and
reduce reprocessing costs for your facility.

SunCycle is intended for recycling of SunMed single patient
use fiber optic laryngoscope blades and handles. Other medical
waste cannot be accepted. Do not place sharps, hazardous or
radioactive-contaminated waste in this container system.

Your contribution.
When the laryngoscopes leave your facility, they
arrive at a recycling center. There, the products are
sterilized, sorted, disassembled, and processed to
then re-enter the world as new products. Products
manufactured from recycled laryngoscopes are
endless – playground equipment, automotive parts,
fencing, and more.
At the end of each year SunMed provides you with a
report of how you made a difference by recycling
your laryngoscope blades and handles.
