What Is Orthopedic Waste?
Orthopedic waste includes discarded materials from bone and joint surgeries, such as metal implants, plates, screws, and surgical tools. It also includes waste from the human body, such as fragments of bones and tissues, that are removed during surgical procedures. Without proper management, this type of waste can pose health risks and harm the environment. Ensuring the safe disposal of orthopedic waste requires careful consideration of regulatory standards and sustainability practices.

Types of Orthopedic Waste We Handle

- Pathological Waste: This includes bone fragments, tissues, and other biological materials removed during orthopedic surgeries. Since pathological waste can spread infection, it requires specialized handling and disposal.
- Sharps Waste: This includes used needles, bone screws, surgical blades, and metal plates. As sharps can pierce through the skin and cause injuries and infection, they should be handled with special care.
