Smarter Catheters, Smarter Care: Reprocessing Single-Use Devices for Real-World Results

4 minutes read time

In healthcare, every decision matters—especially when it comes to quality, cost, and patient outcomes. That’s why more facilities are turning to reprocessed single-use catheters. At NEScientific, we’re not just extending the life of single-use medical devices—we’re providing hospitals, ASCs, and OBLs with high-quality, cost-effective alternatives to new devices, without compromising safety.

Many single-use catheters—like the advanced mapping and diagnostic catheters used in EP labs—are built to incredibly high standards. But after just one procedure, they’re often discarded. NEScientific changes that. Our reprocessing is governed by an ISO-certified quality system, ensuring each device undergoes rigorous sterilization, inspection, and testing.

What you get is a reliable, cost-effective device—but without the waste.

Proven Savings

Reprocessed catheters reduce supply costs significantly. That means more budget for care where it’s needed most. Our partners often report noticeable savings in just a few months of implementation.

No Compromise on Safety

Every catheter that passes through our system undergoes functional, electrical, and visual testing. And yes, they’re FDA-cleared for reprocessed use.

A Smarter Approach to Sustainability

Instead of discarding perfectly functional materials, NES helps facilities cut down on medical waste. It’s better for the planet and smarter for long-term strategy.

Let’s Talk Real Results

Customers using NES reprocessed catheters have achieved:

• Up to 50% reduction in device spend
• Greater supply chain control during device backorders
• Measurable environmental impact reduction

Reprocessing isn’t about cutting corners. It’s about cutting waste and unnecessary cost—without changing what matters most: patient safety and outcomes.

“Reprocessed means second-best.”

Not with NES. Our cleaning, testing, and sterilization protocols have been reviewed by the FDA, gaining substantial equivalence clearance when compared to the OEM device. Nothing goes out the door unless it passes with flying colors.

“Only basic catheters can be reprocessed.”

False. NES specializes in high-end single-use catheters—like the Visions PV digital IVUS catheter. We know these devices inside and out.
