Disposable general medical equipment is any medical apparatus intended for one-time or temporary use. Medical and surgical device manufacturers worldwide produce many types of disposable devices. Examples include hypodermic needles, syringes, applicators, bandages and wraps, drug tests, exam gowns, face masks, gloves, suction catheters, and surgical sponges.
The primary reason for creating Disposable general medical equipment is infection control. When an item is used only once, it cannot transmit infectious agents to subsequent patients. One might think the most important factor in the design of Disposable general medical equipment is cost, but disposable medical devices require a careful balance between performance, cost, reliability, materials, and shelf life.
Benefits of Disposable general medical equipment
- Decontamination – Disposable medical tools ensure a contamination free instrument before each surgery. When a tool comes to the healthcare center pre-sterilized, the decontamination or lengthy sterilization process isn’t needed, therefore saving healthcare centers money.
- Traceability – Once a tool is used, disinfected, and put into storage, its cleanliness isn’t traceable. Disposable, one-time-use tools ensure the ability to account for all pieces of inventory and full traceability. The lot number that each piece has is able to be traced back to the medical manufacturing plant to prevent inconsistencies and issues.
- Supply Logistics – Inventory that is lost, broken, or stolen takes a significant amount of money out of the bottom line of a healthcare center. Single-use instruments allow for supply tracking and ensure there isn’t an abundance of one tool, which can tie up capital.
- Risk Management – Infection and the mitigation of spreading of diseases is one of the highest priorities in a medical facility. Contaminated instruments spread infection, create health issues, and can complicate surgical recovery. When instruments are used once, there is no risk of cross-contamination between patients.
- Cost Allocation – Accounting for each tool used in a surgery helps accurately calculate the cost of each surgery. When using reusable tools, the mix of initial cost, sterilization cost, labor cost, and utilities can make it difficult to accurately account for total cost of procedures.
- Waste – While many argue the amount of waste single-use tools create, the energy, water, detergent, steam, and electricity used to decontaminate reusable tools is more detrimental to the environment than disposable tools.
Advances in manufacturing and automation have decreased the production cost of many products, which has reduced their purchase prices. If this trend continues, products that are now considered too valuable to throw away will become so inexpensive that they will start to be considered Disposable general medical equipment. This could include electrical products and complex surgical tools. Furthermore, once these products are designed specifically to be single-use they can be made from cheaper materials and processes that will bring the price down even more.
