Ascent Expands Hospital Savings & Sustainability Opportunities with the Addition of Reflexion™ and Reflexion Spiral™ Catheters to Its Product Line
Hospitals to Save More than 45% on Reprocessed Catheters Originally Manufactured by St. Jude Medical
PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ascent Healthcare Solutions, a leader in delivering healthcare resource sustainability, announced today the addition of Reflexion™ and Reflexion Spiral™ catheters originally manufactured by St. Jude to its comprehensive offering of reprocessed diagnostic EP catheters. Ascent’s recent FDA clearance to reprocess these catheters will allow hospitals to purchase the reprocessed catheters at nearly half the cost of the originally manufactured device, providing hospitals with much needed supply cost savings and the added environmental benefits that are inherent to Ascent’s hospital sustainability program.
Ascent has the industry’s largest and most comprehensive offering of reprocessed diagnostic EP catheters and Ascent is the only device manufacturer that can reprocess diagnostic EP catheters from all major original manufacturers – giving Ascent’s hospital partners the broadest opportunity to maximize savings and environmentally responsible waste reduction through the program.
Ascent’s program supports hospital sustainability initiatives and helps its hospital partners take proactive steps toward improving the cost and quality of care. Remanufacturing and reprocessing reduces unnecessary medical device supply costs and allows hospitals to effectively redirect resources from medical device supplies to initiatives that increase the quality of care.
“Our hospital partners rely on the cost savings opportunities that our programs deliver to maintain or enhance daily operations and patient care,” explained Rick Ferreira, Chief Operating Officer of Ascent Healthcare Solutions. “The addition of these catheters to our product offering strengthens overall hospital sustainability and supports their commitment to patient care initiatives.”
