ABSTRACT
The reuse of medical devices marked as ‘single use’ by manufacturers has been going on for several decades. The process has been rationalized and legislated in the West as well as in Japan. However, the practice continues in an unregulated manner in India due to a paucity of guidance from the Food and Drug Administration in India. We trace the evolution of reuse policies, look at the prevalent practices in the Indian and international contexts, analyse the available Indian literature and address the ethical and economic implications of reuse. We also suggest some guidelines which may be adopted to formulate policies.
