reduce waste and control
costs with these part-disposable,
part-reusable instruments.

eposable instruments — limited-use devices that some say
are the perfect compromise between reusable and dispos-
able ones — have been around for more than a decade.
But has your facility realized their advantages? These
ergonomic, take-apart instruments can cut costs and
reduce waste while keeping your surgeons satisfied with their per-
formance.
zREPLACE AND REUSE
Reposable laparoscopic
instruments often
let you remove and dispose
of interchangeable tips, like
scissors, while sterilizing
and reusing the handle.
