Environmental impact of single-use vs. reusable cystoscopes
Study compares complete life cycle1
Key points
- Transitioning from reusable to single-use can reduce environmental footprint
- Reprocessing of reusable cystoscopes, alone, had greater impact than whole lifespan of aScope 4 Cysto
- Due to lack of manufacturer data for parts of the lifespan other than reprocessing, the environmental impact of reusable cystoscopes was considered close to zero
