1. JM Medical Recycling Program
MedicalPlatinum (Guide Wires and EP Catheters)
We are a government approved medical recycling business that lets you keep a valuable natural resource
out of the landfill and returns dollars to your department.
Devices That Should Be Saved For EP Catheter Recycling
 Electrophysiology (EP) catheters
 Angioplasty guide wires
 Electrophoresis electrodes
We help medical facilities and hospitals start in-house programs to collect and recycle medical EP
catheters, guide wires, and electrodes. Upon receipt of devices, we recycle the platinum and return
payment to your department based on the actual amount of platinum extracted.
To get started on a platinum recycling program, begin by collecting the EP catheters and other
platinum-containing devices you use in your lab. Place EP catheters, angioplasty guide wires, and
electrophoresis electrodes in a plastic bag or plastic container and ship in an insulated envelope (small
shipments) or a priority mail box (large shipments).
Please include our Packing Slip with your shipment and include any instructions and contact information
you have. We typically can return a payment within 21 business days if not sooner.

Instructions to customer:
After we receive your material we will immediately begin recycling and retrieving the platinum. We
typically pay 50-60% of the platinum content by weight. This will depend on the type of platinum EP
catheter tips you have. Other factors that will determine the value of your items include the number of
electrodes you have, diameter, and weight. The platinum content will vary based on the mentioned
criteria. The turnaround time is usually prompt and we will try and send payment in 14 business days.
For shipping we recommend sending your items in a padded mailer or double plastic bags. Make sure
that you choose the “Delivery Signature Required” option when you ship which will ensure that we
have received your material.
We also ask that you prepare your EP Catheters by sterilizing the top prior to shipping. Use the
method that your hospital recommends. You can also cut the wire so that you are only sending the part
that contains platinum. Trimming the wire might also save you on postage and packaging.
