Single-use medical device reprocessing is the concept of sterilizing, repackaging, testing, and manufacturing a used product. There is no clear definition for the term single-use device and it is entirely based upon the end-user perception. Reprocessing of single-use devices is acceptable if the device is properly sterilized while keeping its physical and technological functionalities intact. Single-use medical device reprocessing is done in two ways: third party processing and in-hospital processing. Third party processing is considered to be a better option, as regulatory authorities can impose strict regulations for validation and quality assurance purpose.

Global Reprocessing and Reuse of Single Use Medical Devices Market - Impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

The coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak was first reported on December 31, 2019, in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as pandemic on March 11, 2020. According to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Weekly Epidemiological Update by the World Health Organization, December 12, 2021, the number of new COVID-19 cases and deaths globally decreased slightly in the second week of December 2021, with over 269 million cases and over 5.3 million deaths.

Impact of COVID-19 on Demand and Supply of Reprocessing and Reuse of Single Use Medical Devices

The coronavirus (COVID19) pandemic and lock down in various countries across the globe have impacted the financial status of businesses in all sectors. Private health care sector is one of the sectors, which is majorly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Moreover, coronavirus pandemic has negatively impacted the development, production, and supply of medical devices and affected growth of the medical devices businesses of various companies across the globe, as COVID-19 pandemic had led to unprecedented lockdown in several countries, globally. This lockdown has resulted in closure of industrial establishments, except manufacturing of essential commodities and disruption in supply chain of the products. According to Morulaa HealthTech Private Limited, (offers regulatory support/ product approval services for medical devices in India and other South East Asian markets) report published in December 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, various healthcare facilities are focusing on the reprocessing and reuse of single use medical device with the help of registered third party reprocessors in order to combat the constraints faced by the manufacturers/ healthcare facilities in the supply of single-use medical devices and also aids healthcare facilities in reducing cost and controlling the waste production of healthcare facilities.

The global reprocessing and reuse of single use medical devices market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1,843.4 Mn in 2021, and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 10.2% over the forecast period (2021-2028).

Increasing focus on reducing medical waste is the major factor that is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period.

In order to reduce medical waste, healthcare facilities are increasingly focusing on implementing various approaches including minimizing the use of materials, reuse of instruments, and reprocessing and reuse of single use medical devices, which are expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period. According to the Association of Medical Device Reprocessors (AMDR), in 2019, approximately 15 million pounds of medical waste were reduced due to the use of reprocessed single-use medical devices.

Cost Savings Associated with Reprocessing Single Use Medical Devices 

Minimally invasive technology based on single use devices (SUDs) is largely being used in modern medicine. Many SUDs used to perform surgical procedures are expensive to purchase and store, and typically require large inventories than multiple-use devices. Thus, reprocessing and reuse of SUDs become common in many health care facilities in order to reduce the cost. According to the Association of Medical Device Reprocessors (AMDR), the savings of hospitals and the surgical center partners due to third party reprocessing of SUD has increased from US$ 20 million in 1999 to US$ 471 million by 2018, in the U.S, Canada, and Europe.

Global Reprocessing and Reuse of Single Use Medical Devices Market – Restraints

Concerns about the risk of infection and injury associated with the reuse of single use medical devices are expected to hinder the marker growth over the forecast period. Following are the risks associated with the reuse of single use medical devices (SUDs).

  • There are increasing concerns about the risk of hospital-acquired infections (HAI) associated with the reuse of SUDs
  • Using the reprocessed devices involves significant risk of cross-infection due to inadequate reprocessing of medical devices with complex designs
  • The infections or mechanical breakdown of reuse SUDs could lead to serious health consequences or death of the patient

Global Reprocessing and Reuse of Single Use Medical Devices Market – Regional Analysis

On the basis of region, the global reprocessing and reuse of single use medical devices market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa.

Among regions, North America is expected to hold a dominant position in the global reprocessing and reuse of single use medical devices over the forecast period, owing to healthcare facilities such as hospitals, homecare facilities, and ambulatory surgical centers adopting the reprocessing and reuse of single use medical devices, as it is cost-effective and decreases the waste of medical devices. For instance, according to the Association of Medical Device Reprocessors (AMDR) report published in 2018, almost 25% or quarterly hospitals in the U.S and Canada practice reuse and reprocessing of single use medical devices as a cost saving and waste management strategy.
