ICE catheter buyback: $60–$65 each.
Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) catheters are the single most valuable device your surgery center throws away — the headline item on every buyback price list. One device pays more than a month of many centers' sharps containers cost.
The models that qualify
All the major single-use ICE catheters on the market trade at the top of the buyback range — $60–$65 each at published market rates as of July 2026:

|---|---|---|
| Biosense Webster AcuNav | Biosense Webster (J&J) | $60–$65 |
| ViewFlex Xtra | St. Jude / Abbott | $60–$65 |
| VeriSight Pro | Philips | $60–$65 |

Why ICE catheters top the list
Intact ICE catheters carry sophisticated ultrasound arrays and electronics, which makes them valuable to research, development, and training buyers who pay well above materials value for whole devices. That's also why condition matters: keep them whole and uncut, and every sales channel stays open. If your lab does structural heart, EP ablation, or closure cases with ICE guidance, this one line item can anchor the whole program.
The math on one busy lab
Ten ICE cases a month is $600–$650 in device value alone — before counting the diagnostic catheters, sheaths, and cables from the same cases. Depending on mix and volume, the full discard stream builds to $1–2K a month.
Zero prep, like everything else
ICE catheters go in the same free collection container as every other eligible device — whole, as-is, seconds per case. Payment lands with an itemized statement after receipt.
Rest of the EP stream
Diagnostic catheters, ablation catheters, sheaths, and cables from the same cases all qualify too. See the full EP tier table.
