Disposable medical supplies have gathered increasing pace in the healthcare industries in recent decades, and is driven by the rising focus of healthcare providers to contain the risks of infections. Their use occupies a vital role in managing intrahospital infections. Rising incidence of infectious diseases and the disproportionate pace of growth in the healthcare infrastructure have led to rising possibilities of infections passing from patients to clinicians. The use of disposable medical supplies as a protective measure for patients and physicians has generated widespread interest in various regions across the globe. This has underpinned the rapid evolution of the disposable medical supplies market.
The demand for disposable medical supplies gained robust momentum from intensifying regulatory oversight to prevent patient and staff harms. In numerous developing countries, awareness has risen with respect to the use of drug delivery-related products and patient room supplies so as to cause no harm to the patients and the hospital staff.
Rising Need for Reducing Risks of Hospital-Acquired Infections fuels Demand
The rising incidence of the incidence of nosocomial infections is a crucial factor that has intensified the need for disposals replacing the reusable ones. These infections have been a source of several life-threatening pathogens to patients and staff. Furthermore, hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) have emerged as a source of substantial morbidity and mortality.

However, despite the large potential of disposable medical supplies, there are some caveats hampering their prospects. One of the most significant of these is the landfill problem caused by improper dumping of these medical supplies.
However, manufacturers are addressing this concern by going for biodegradable materials that can ease recyclability of such materials. The use of such materials in medical supplies reduces the environmental impact. Over the past few years, hospitals ambulatory surgical centers, and healthcare centers have entered into partnerships with reprocessing and recycling firms that help them manage the rising medical waste from disposable medical supplies.

Manufacturers Focusing on Implementing Biodegradable Materials to Reduce Biomedical Waste
With the increased focus on patient-centered care and accountability, emphasis on reducing biomedical waste has led manufacturers to implement biodegradable materials in disposable medical supplies. Most of the commercially available single-use or disposable medical supplies are recyclable. Because of which disposable medical supplies that usually end up in unwanted places or landfills can be collected and can be recycled. Towards this, hospital facilities and ambulatory surgical centers have partnered with reprocessing and recycling firms for the management of medical waste.
Disposable Medical Supplies Market to Grow with Increased Efforts of Healthcare Sector to Prevent HAIs
Hospital-acquired infections (HAI) present major challenges to the healthcare industry with CDC estimation of 1 in 25 patients suffering from HAIs.
