Comparing Single-Use vs. Reusable Stent Graspers
To fully understand the value of single-use stent graspers, it is essential to compare them directly with their reusable counterparts.
| Feature | Single-Use Stent Graspers | Reusable Stent Graspers |
|---|---|---|
| Infection Control | Eliminates risk of cross-contamination | Requires rigorous sterilization, still poses risk of contamination |
| Availability | Always ready for use | Downtime due to reprocessing |
| Cost Considerations | Higher upfront cost, but saves on sterilization and infection-related expenses | Lower upfront cost but ongoing costs for sterilization, maintenance, and potential infection treatment |
| Durability | Consistently new, no degradation | Prone to wear and tear over time |
| Workflow Efficiency | Eliminates sterilization delays, ready for immediate use | Reprocessing can cause delays and inefficiencies |
