Restore Robotics Achieves Major Milestone with 300 Hospitals in Instrument Recycling Initiative

Restore Robotics Soars Ahead in Sustainability Efforts

Restore Robotics has made a significant impact in the healthcare sector, announcing that over 300 hospitals and surgical centers across the United States have joined its innovative recycling and remanufacturing program for da Vinci Xi® robotic surgical instruments. This initiative is designed to not only save costs but to also foster sustainability within the medical field.

As a pioneer in this area, Restore Robotics collaborates with Encore Medical Device Repair, its Master Distributor. Through this partnership, hospitals receive FDA-cleared remanufactured robotic instruments that are on par with brand-new devices in terms of performance. This recycling program enables institutions to return used or expired robotic instruments, hence reducing both procurement costs and the environmental footprint associated with the disposal of such instruments.

Clif Parker, CEO of Restore Robotics, expressed pride in this milestone: "We are incredibly proud that over 300 hospitals have committed to working with Restore Robotics. The positive feedback has been tremendous—hospitals are witnessing that remanufactured instruments hold their own against new ones, yet come at a significantly reduced cost. It’s beneficial both for budgets and sustainability."

Tom Milano, the President and COO of Encore, added, "Hospitals really appreciate the transparency, reliability, and quality offered through the Restore remanufacturing program. This achievement showcases that the healthcare industry is increasingly prepared to embrace responsible reuse—valuing robotic instruments as essential tools rather than disposable commodities."

Earlier in the year, Restore Robotics made strides in regulatory compliance by achieving FDA 510(k) clearance for the remanufacturing of the da Vinci® Xi 8 mm Monopolar Curved Scissors, which is a testament to the company’s commitment to quality and innovation. The organization is expected to expand its range of remanufactured instruments and anticipates further clearances from the FDA throughout 2026.

Based in Panama City Beach, Florida, with a cutting-edge remanufacturing facility located in Henderson, Nevada, Restore Robotics leads the way in surgical robotics remanufacturing. The firm prioritizes sustainability without compromising cost or quality in surgical systems worldwide. With their innovative solutions, hospitals can reduce expenses while ensuring patient safety and operational efficiency.

Encore Medical Device Repair complements its instrument repair offerings with remanufactured medical instruments, emphasizing quality and sustainability. By collaborating with Restore Robotics, Encore allows hospitals to minimize costs while adhering to the highest safety and performance standards.
