Medical Remanufacturing
Medical remanufacturing restores a used medical device to “as new” functional and safety standard with matching warranty. Medical remanufacturing enables a circular economy within the medical device sector. It helps conserve the planet’s valuable resources while keeping costs low — without compromising on safety or performance.
Rethink. Remanufacture.
Vanguard AG develops pioneering and certified medical remanufacturing processes that enable a circular economy for medical devices and allow hospitals to reduce carbon emissions, save resources and protect their budgets.
Sustainable
We extend the product life cycle of medical devices and enable a more sustainable future for the medical device sector. By giving new life to single-use medical devices, we combat climate change and protect our planet’s resources.
Economical
Through medical remanufacturing, the pursuit of sustainability pays off. There are no additional costs involved; in fact, medical remanufacturing can result in cost savings of up to 50 per cent.
Safe
Using certified, state-of-the-art processes, we set global standards for medical remanufacturing. We ensure that our remanufactured products are restored to “as new” functional and safety standards and fully comply with all EU regulatory requirements.
