Hassan R Hashmi, General and Colorectal Surgeon at Las Vegas Surgical Associates, shared a post on X by JAMA Surgery, adding:
“Important insight from JAMA Surgery. The pivot to single-use disposables, while aimed at infection control, comes with major environmental and supply-chain costs and no clear safety benefit. Evidence-based reusability is essential for patient care, environmental protection, and safeguarding future generations.”
Quoting JAMA Surgery‘s post:
“Viewpoint: The shift to single-use medical disposables for infection prevention has led to environmental strain and supply chain dependency.”
