Reusable medical supplies are crucial for several reasons:
1. Cost-Effectiveness: Over time, reusable supplies can be more economical than disposable ones. Although the initial investment might be higher, the cost per use decreases significantly. 2. Environmental Impact: Reducing waste by reusing supplies helps to minimize the environmental footprint of healthcare facilities. 3. Resource Management: In certain situations, such as during shortages or in remote areas, having reusable supplies can ensure continuous patient care.
