Global Medical Device Reprocessing Market Overview

Reprocessing is a regulated activity for manufacturing the medical devices that are conducted by third party or hospitals. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires third-party reprocessors to meet the same standards as originally manufactured single-use devices. Reprocessing is a common practice in the U.S. after the advent of “Honor Roll”, where hospitals were supposed to choose to reprocess single-use devices and 77% of Practice Greenhealth Award winners in 2010 chose to reprocess medical devices with a combined savings of over USD 10.8 million. “Superbug” is the antibiotic resistance that is said to be associated with drug only while the medical device is equally responsible for it. Around 45% of hospitals had agreements with third-party reprocessing companies which increased to 70% in 2008 after the economic recession in the U.S.
