May 20, 2023

Single use medical device (SUD) reprocessing is the process of cleaning, disinfection, sterilization, testing, manufacturing, labelling and packaging medical device to put the device in use again while keeping the functions performed intact. The reuse of single use medical device has several benefits such as it saves cost, efficient waste management, environmentally sustainable, thereby helping the hospitals to save their cost. The use of reprocessed devices is gaining popularity across the globe and it is particularly popular in emerging markets.Reprocessing enables the healthcare facilities to reuse those devices instead of their usual disposal methods and thus, is helping in waste management and keep the environment sustainable driving the single use medical devices reprocessing market growth. The transmission of disease or infection associated with the use of reprocessed devices may hamper the growth of the single use medical devices reprocessing market. The green reprocessing procedure of medical devices is causing minimum damage to environment and hence is acting as an opportunity for the single use medical devices reprocessing market in coming years. The deviation from the standards or improper cleaning might also lead to chemical residues which might result toxicity in the patient. Besides, these risks, the physical characteristics may also change after reprocessing, put patients at risk and the learning-curve for healthcare practitioners might also decline. Thus, this poses as a handling risk while procedural use and becomes a challenge for the single use medical devices reprocessing market growth.
