Icky, not sticky. Used orthotics

I know, difficult subject matter, but I am serious. An Orthopedic Surgeon has told me that the prices of orthotic implants from the U.S. Japan and Europe have skyrocketed. The price of a hip orthotic is now 70,000 pesos. I am wondering, in the case of death, can these appliances be thoroughly sterilised, etc., and reused? For lower income people the cost of extraction could easily cover funeral and burial costs. Not as controversial as recycling actual body parts.
Metal or ceramic orthotics have a life well over 25 years.

There seems to at least a couple charities collecting and donating medical devices to developing countries. Ghana is one of them.. It is a shame that like in Mexico, there are people undergoing tremendous pain because they, or their families, cannot afford the price of the orthotic. Public hospitals are generally non profit (with some newer efforts for cost recovery now in Mexico). The doctors and surgeons are on salary, so the main obstacle is the price of the orthotic.
Some people have religious convictions about being interred with same parts they were born with. In Mexico, this has resulted low numbers of organ donors. These metal and ceramic bits are different though. You were not born with them, and the donation of a medical device could make a real difference in a living persons life.
