Benefits of Reusable & Autoclavable Trocars

• Cost-Effectiveness: One of the primary benefits of autoclavable trocars is their cost-effectiveness in the long run. While the initial investment may be higher than disposable trocars, autoclavable trocars can be sterilized and reused for multiple procedures, reducing the need for frequent repurchase and disposal.
• Environmental Impact: Autoclavable trocars contribute to a reduction in medical waste. Since they can be sterilized and used multiple times, they help minimize the amount of disposable medical instruments that end up in landfills, making them a more sustainable option.
• Consistent Performance: High-quality autoclavable trocars are designed to maintain their performance and functionality even after multiple sterilization cycles. This reliability can enhance procedural efficiency and precision.
• Customization: Autoclavable trocars often come in a variety of sizes, designs, and materials to cater to different medical procedures and surgeon preferences. This customization allows for a more tailored approach to patient care.
• Durability:Autoclavable trocars are typically constructed from robust materials that can withstand the high temperatures and pressures of autoclaving without compromising their structural integrity.
• Reduced Inventory Management: With disposable trocars, healthcare facilities need to manage and maintain a steady supply of these instruments. Autoclavable trocars can reduce the burden of inventory management since the same instruments can be reused across multiple procedures.
• Familiarity for Surgeons: Surgeons who are accustomed to using a specific type or model of trocar may find autoclavable trocars preferable as they can continue using the same instruments across different procedures.
• Compliance and Regulations: Autoclavable trocars can align with regulatory requirements and infection control guidelines, given that proper cleaning and sterilization protocols are followed diligently.

What Factors Should You Consider When Deciding?

Safety

Onlysingle-usesurgical equipment is appropriate for use with patients who have communicable bloodborne diseases. Reusable equipment must be stored with inventory control numbers so it can be removed from use if it is found to be associated with infections that appear after the procedure. Physicians also need to establish protocols for handling reusable instruments during sterilization and restorage.

Cost

Insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid reimbursement policies can be the deciding factor in choosing between reusable equipment and equipment for one-time use. Reusable equipment is never reimbursed by the patient's health insurance coverage. Single-use equipment sometimes is reimbursed.

Time

Assistants spend 5 to 10 minutes sending used instruments through sterilization, 8 to 15 minutes allowing instruments to dry, and 2 or 3 minutes to note inventory control numbers in patient records and on instrument containers. Half an hour of your assistant's time can cost more than the instrument they sterilize. However, when you have a light patient load, using your assistant's time in this way can make sense. Never put instruments from multiple patients into the autoclave at the same time. You want to avoid cross-contamination, especially if there is any possibility of contamination that cannot be removed by cleaning with steam and bleach.

Impact On The Environment

Last-mile shipping of small packages is a huge burden on the environment. There is no doubt that multiple-use instruments are more "green," but the environmental costs of one sick patient easily exceed the environmental burden of shipping thousands of surgical instruments.

Every physician has slightly different circumstances. Patient load, availability of surgical assistants, and scheduling constraints may mean that the best choice is to stock both single-use and multiple-use surgical instruments to be used as circumstances dictate.
