You really are an "old timer" I sold reprocessing years ago, the FDA doesn't require the single-use only label on the packaging- the OEM's started doing it in the mid 80's when everyone was scared on AIDS, why not label it that way to make more money by having the hospital buy a new one every time.
If you're an old timer- I'm sure you remember reusable trocars, which are still used by some older surgeons across the nation.
And now, I sell implants and capital- which can't be reprocessed - so I always educate my doctors and hospital facilities that they should reprocess to have more money in their budget to buy from me- and what do you know BAM- more $$ for me-
Stop selling disposable medial devices and get into the real implant sales where the money is and you won't be complaining
