How to determine the value of catheters; How much for ablation catheter recycling.
Friends, in your everyday medical work or related fields, have you ever seen such a special catheter? It is definitely not an ordinary, run-of-the-mill catheter. This catheter has a unique structure and is made of precious materials; it is an ablation catheter containing the noble metals platinum and iridium.
As we all know, both platinum and iridium are extremely rare and precious metals. Platinum, as a highly valued noble metal, possesses a series of praiseworthy characteristics. It has good electrical conductivity and can efficiently conduct electrical current, ensuring stable energy transmission in medical operations. Its corrosion resistance is outstanding. Whether in the complex physiological environment of the human body or in the presence of various other chemicals it may come into contact with, it can maintain its stability and will not be affected by corrosion. Moreover, the chemical properties of platinum are very stable, enabling it to reliably perform its functions under various complex conditions.
Iridium is no less remarkable. It is rare and precious, and when combined with platinum in specific proportions, it further enhances the comprehensive performance of the alloy. When platinum and iridium are perfectly fused together in certain ratios, they form the platinum-iridium alloy material used to make this special catheter.
This platinum-iridium alloy ablation catheter plays a vital role in the medical field. Especially in some advanced heart treatment surgeries, it is an indispensable tool. There is a wide variety of models, each carefully designed to meet different clinical needs and specific treatment situations.
Precisely because of the large number of models and their complex designs, the recycling value varies. Generally speaking, our professional recycling team will accurately determine the recycling value based on the specific content of the metal materials in different models. For these different models of catheters, the composition ratio of the platinum-iridium alloy may vary; some models may have a slightly higher platinum content, while others may have a relatively larger proportion of iridium. These subtle differences will affect the recycling value.
Based on our long-term experience and a comprehensive view of the market, for this type of ablation catheter made of noble metal platinum-iridium alloy, the recycling price will fluctuate within a relatively broad range according to the specific situation of different models, roughly between 10 to100 yuan per catheter. Of course, this is just a general range, and the specific price will also be influenced by multiple factors such as market supply and demand, fluctuations in metal prices, and so on.
