MEDISISS helps eliminate single use device medical waste. Customers who embrace reprocessing are pleased to team with MEDISISS to contribute to a healthier environment by contributing less to our landfills.

Every year, healthcare facilities literally pour billions of dollars straight into community landfills when they dispose of SUDs. When such a huge percentage of the multi-billion dollar domestic market for medical devices is NOT reprocessed, it deprives healthcare facilities of significant capital that could be directed at enhanced patient care.

And instead, what IS increased is the volume of medical waste in our landfills...creating a growing environmental problem that could be significantly slowed by reusing SUDs.

By working with MEDISISS, we help you reinforce your role as a conscientious health provider and good steward of the environment. As articulated in the Wall Street Journal  by Sister Susan Vickers, Vice President of Community Health at Catholic Healthcare West:

“We are diverting significant amounts of medical waste which definitely benefits our planet.”*
