Medical device reprocessing is gaining popularity because it can lead to significant cost savings and reduce hospital waste. For example, Kaiser Permanente, a US-based integrated delivery network, saves about $11 million annually by reprocessing medical equipment. Medical waste disposal puts a lot of cost pressure on hospitals; however, it has become a mature industry in countries such as the United States, Japan, and China. For example, Ascent, a subsidiary of Stryker Corporation, eliminated 1,684 tons of medical waste with the help of reprocessing.
