In a world where sustainability and responsible waste management are becoming increasingly critical, it's essential to rethink recycling of electrodes.
A recycled electrode, a better life.
In a world where sustainability and responsible waste management are becoming increasingly critical, it’s essential to rethink how we handle medical devices.
MICRODEEP® electrodes, used in SEEG, contain wires made largely of platinum — a rare and precious metal valued across industries for its unique properties. However, as a finite resource, platinum must be preserved and recycled wherever possible.
Some hospitals, such as those in Lyon and Toulouse, have already taken steps to recycle these electrodes. While the entire device cannot be recycled — particularly the part that comes into contact with the central nervous system — the platinum wires can be recovered and reused in the production of new electrodes.
To support this effort, DIXI medical has established a dedicated recycling program to recover and repurpose platinum.
Once the wires are cut and returned to DIXI medical, they are sent to specialized recycling companies. The proceeds from this process are donated to hospital-affiliated charities that support patient care.
Depending on the hospital, these proceeds can range from €7,000 to €10,000 for larger centers, and between €2,500 and €5,000 for others.
In the intricate landscape of neurosurgery, precision is not a luxury, it is a clinical necessity. The exact placement of intracranial electrodes underpins nearly every decision in surgical planning for epilepsy, brain tumors, and functional disorders. As diagnostic and therapeutic interventions become more refined, so too must the tools and techniques we rely upon.
The evolution of stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) has transformed epilepsy treatment by offering deeper insights into seizure foci localization and seizure networks.
The global leader for SEEG depth electrodes, resuming direct sales in the U.S. following the contractual end of its distribution partnership with NeuroPace.
Epilepsy treatment has come a long way. For decades, clinicians relied on surface EEG and educated guesswork to determine the origins of seizures, often falling short when it came to localizing deep-seated seizure foci.
Neurosurgery is experiencing a transformative era, with intracerebral electrodes playing a pivotal role in advancing our understanding and treatment of neurological disorders, particularly epilepsy.
