Are obp products reusable?
No, all obp products are for single-use only.
Why should I switch to a single-use product?
Single-use devices save time, increase efficiency, and reduce risk of cross-contamination. In addition to the direct impact on patients, when recovery is delayed due to a hospital-acquired infection (HAI), the facility is also saddled with longer patient stays and additional treatments. Often, the cost of this additional care is non-reimbursable. Single-use devices help prevent these added costs. Further, single-use devices are often a more cost-effective choice in the long term because they eliminate the time, equipment and resources inherent with ongoing training, cleaning and reprocessing of reusable devices. For more information about our single-use products, please visit our product pages.
What happens if I reuse a single-use product?
All obp products are marketed, labeled and indicated for single-use only. Our single-use devices are not designed to be reprocessed and reuse of a single-use device can, therefore, create a serious risk of cross-contamination between patients. The strength of the device may be significantly compromised and the resulting risk to the patient and/or user is unknown. The lights incorporated in our devices are only powered for a single use.
