Increasing hospital expenditures on medical devices and high amount of medical wastage produced in day to day practices is a major burden globally. To address this problem, medical devices industry and healthcare providers are focused on reprocessing medical devices as an alternative solution to address both the challenges. Increasing reprocessed medical devices are attributed to various factors such as hospital cost savings, low cost availability of reprocessed devices, and environmental benefits by reducing medical wastages.
Reusable medical devices get dirty and contaminated with bacteria when they are used on patients. Reusable devices go through reprocessing, a thorough, multi-step process to clean and then disinfect or sterilize them, to eliminate any danger of infection from a contaminated device. The actions necessary to make sure that Reusable medical devices (RMD) is secure for its intended usage are referred to as reprocessing. Cleaning, inspection, assembly, functional testing, disinfection, packaging, labelling, sterilization, and storage are all steps in the multi-step process of reprocessing.
Market Dynamics
Increasing awareness about the adverse environmental effects like increase in soil pollution, increase in amount of carbon dioxide release, of dumping medical wastes in landfills are expected to drive growth of market over the forecast period. The widespread use of plastics and other non-biodegradable artificial polymers in medical devices are expected to fuel growth of the global reprocessed medical devices market, as adoption of biodegradable materials in medical devices has still not been widely incorporated. For instance, according to data published in February 2018, by the World Health Organization (WHO), stated that every year an estimated 16 billion injections are administered worldwide, but not all of the needles and syringes are properly disposed off afterwards.
