Innovative packaging

Paper envelopes

We have replaced the plastic envelopes containing the Instructions for Use (IFU) and product documentation with bags made from 100% recyclable materials.

This change cuts down on plastic waste and makes recycling easier - just dispose of the IFU, documentation and the packaging all into the same recycling bin, with no need to separate.

Smaller hernia boxes

Listening to our customers is a key part of our sustainability strategy. Based on your feedback, we have developed two new box sizes to accommodate hernia configurations. This change reduces material usage and saves space during shipment. The new design also makes storage and handling easier for you.¹

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Reporting

We are proud to share insights from the Medtronic Impact Report. This report highlights our ongoing efforts to operate responsibly, from reducing greenhouse gas emissions to ethical supply chain practices that support fair labour standards globally.
