R2 Surgical Green Initiative

Recycle and Save

Most go to waste. A few go somewhere better.

The R2 Surgical Green Initiative, in partnership with Restore Robotics and Encore Medical Device Repair, gives your used da Vinci instruments a second life. After they’re remanufactured to FDA‑cleared* standards, you can purchase them at 20% off — a smart, sustainable way to save hundreds of thousands of dollars per robot per year.

How It Works

Five simple steps. One huge payoff.

Done. Just like that. The kit arrives quickly, and soon you're using remanufactured da Vinci instruments that work like new.

I just had the chance to use the remanufactured Restore Robotics scissor. I have to say it worked perfectly. You couldn't tell anything was different from a factory fresh instrument.

A Smarter, Greener Choice

Modern surgical robotics have transformed patient care — but at a cost. In 2024 alone:

  • 2.68 million da Vinci procedures were performed.
  • Each procedure generated roughly 6.7–11.6 pounds of waste.
  • Strict 10‑use limits often force the disposal of instruments when they could be safely remanufactured and used again.

That adds up to tens of millions of pounds of waste every year — much of it completely avoidable.

With the R2 Surgical Green Initiative, you can:

  • Reduce landfill waste

  • Extend the life of expensive instruments

  • Maintain FDA‑cleared quality and performance

Make surgery more sustainable — for both your facility and the planet
