“…By implementing distributed remanufacturing more jobs could be created across the country. This would be viewed favourably as job creation which is thought to be a primary driver of remanufacturing in Nigeria [45]. Due to the large quantities of medical imports, remanufacturing SUDs would provide medical organisations with significant savings.…”

This paper aims to evaluate the current state of the remanufacturing of medical devices, considering the differences between developed and developing countries. With reference to various socio-economic factors, the impact of remanufacturing to sustainability was evaluated and from this, single-use medical devices were deemed to be critical in minimising waste within the medical industry. This is even more critical with increasing use of single-use devices in the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19) pandemic. It was identified that cleaning is a key consideration for ensuring a safe remanufacturing process that would minimise the risk of infection to patients. Therefore, this process was evaluated and appropriate recommendations made. Although there may be some challenges, further research would be required for integration of the methodology and process outlined into the medical sector.
