“These bags allowed the patient to leave the hospital with dignity”
The Circular Patient Experience Products are made from 100% upcycled or recycled sterilization wrap collected from hospitals throughout the United States as part of our effort to circularize medical plastics.

These products can also be used as powerful marketing or promotional tools at events or conferences with customizable messaging options.
