Frequently Asked Questions
What is the MUMD inflation device?
A single use balloon catheter inflation device that builds and displays pressure in the balloon, then deflates it. It is used in PTCA, PTA and other vascular interventions.
How is the device recycled?
The hospital collects used devices, takes them apart with hand tools, washes the parts, sorts them by material and handing over to recyclers.
What are the key specifications?
20 ml volume, 30 ATM pressure, class I, sterile, measuring device with a mechanical gauge.
Who uses it?
Interventional angiologists and cardiologists, and vascular and endovascular surgeons.
How do I get a quote?
Use the form below with your hospital's and rough yearly device volume. We send a quote and the recycling guide.
Is the device single-use or reusable?
It is a single-use sterile device. After use it is not reprocessed for reuse. Its materials are recycled instead of incinerated. See the product page.
What happens after a procedure?
The used device goes into a sealed, labelled container, is collected, taken apart with hand tools, washed, sorted by material and passed to a recycler. The pressure gauge is incinerated. See the recycling process.
Who performs disassembly and washing?
Either the hospital, if it has suitable cleaning equipment, or a reprocessing partner that receives sealed devices. The recycler takes over the cleaned, sorted parts. Roles are listed on the recycling process page.
Which plastics/materials can be recycled?
The plastics are polycarbonate (PC), ABS, polyamide (PA) and TPU. Metals and silicone parts are sorted separately, and acceptance depends on the recycler. About 84% of the device mass is recycled. The 27 g pressure gauge is not. See the evidence.
What is the 20 ml / 30 atm specification for?
20 ml is the barrel volume used to fill and inflate the balloon. 30 atm is the maximum pressure the device and its mechanical gauge support. It suits PTCA, PTA and other vascular interventions. Details on the product page.
Which hospitals can request a quote?
Any hospital, clinic or cath lab. The minimum order is 1,000 units. Below that, contact us directly. See procurement.
Is recycling available outside Switzerland?
The process works wherever a reprocessing partner and a recycler are available. Costs differ by country. Some recyclers charge, others pay per kg. Ask us about your country, see the recycling process.
How are cost savings calculated?
The purchase saving is 12.5% of your current annual device spend. Waste cost uses your disposal cost per kg and the recycling price per kg. CO₂e uses 225.2 g saved per device. Try the cost and waste calculator.
What evidence and technical documents are available on request?
The claim register and study summary are on the evidence page, each claim with a review date. Other technical documents are available on request through the quote form.
