Reprocessing is not just a trend, but a necessary change. According to the Association of Medical Device Reprocessors (AMDR), U.S. hospitals are saving more than a quarter of a billion dollars a year by refurbishing single use devices and diverting millions of pounds of waste from our nation’s landfills.

AMDR states that “independent analysts project double digit year-over-year growth for the reprocessing industry (and thus savings to the healthcare system).” America’s finest medical facilities, including all of the institutions ranked by U.S. News & World Report as the nation’s “Honor Roll” hospitals are reprocessing their medical devices.

“One of the main reasons we have such high participation with ReNewal is that doctors trust that the returned devices are safe for their patients and will perform as well or better than before,” said Czajka. “Medline’s refurbishment and testing processes are as thorough and complete as anyone’s in the industry.”

Another way Medline delivers invaluable customer service and engagement is with its powerful on-demand online reporting system, giving hospitals 24-hour access to updated, real-time information on the status of their reprocessing program. Information includes: savings and reprocessing goals, progress made toward achieving goals, monitoring reprocessed device pricing and actual savings achieved, opportunities available for reprocessing, inventory management and order status.
