➤ How do you calculate the real cost per use for single-use versus reusable instruments?
Calculate cost per use by adding acquisition cost divided by expected usable cycles, plus per‑use reprocessing, sterilization, maintenance, and disposal fees. Add overheads like storage and staff time. Include estimated costs of infection risk and downtime. Compare that to the firm per-unit price of single-use items to decide which option minimizes cost per case.
