Single-Use Supply Chain Excellence From Ambu: Innovating For Our Healthcare Partners
With three dedicated R&D centers in Denmark, Germany and Malaysia, we focus our innovation efforts on new product development and product lifecycle management, in close collaboration with our customers.
More than 3,000 employees working across four manufacturing facilities in the U.S., Mexico, Malaysia and China to produce high-quality solutions for customers. We provide peace of mind with supply chain resilience and comprehensive contingency planning for manufacturing output.
Our single-use endoscopes exemplify Ambu’s leadership in the total distribution value chain, backed by a strong support staff of knowledgeable sales managers and clinical trainers that can deliver for you.
The Benefits of Ambu Total Cost of Ownership
- Availability and Efficiency: Single-use endoscopes are always available when needed, reducing downtime and increasing procedural efficiency.
- No Repair and Maintenance Costs: No ongoing costs associated with reusables, such as regular maintenance and repairs due to wear and tear.
- Simplified Inventory Management: Single-use eliminates the need to track and manage a fleet of scopes, reducing administrative overhead.
- Reduced Infection Risk: Eliminating cross-contamination risk can lead to lower infection rates and associated treatment costs.
- No Reprocessing Costs: Reusables require extensive cleaning and sterilization between uses involving labor, equipment, and consumables; single-use devices are used once and discarded.
- Regulatory Compliance: Single-use endoscopes can help healthcare facilities comply with strict infection control regulations, potentially avoiding fines and penalties.
A Sustainable Future with Single-Use
Our mission at Ambu is to create solutions that improve healthcare for professionals and their patients with the smallest possible environmental footprint.
- Ambu has built its design, manufacturing and reclamation efforts on a circular business model — it’s part of our corporate DNA – allowing for comprehensive reporting at product level on environmental impact KPIs.
- We are pioneering bioplastics in both medical device design and packaging to significantly reduce carbon emissions and improve recyclability.
- By year end, all of our endoscope handles will be bioplastic — a full year earlier than planned.
As we take leaps toward a more sustainable future, we hope to inspire others — after all, the more who join, the greater the impact.
