The increasing use of single use medical devices is being driven by a growing awareness of iatrogenic (from the Greek; caused by the doctor) and nosocomial infections. Public health perceptions relating to transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, specifically variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD), the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Hepatitis B are high on the political agenda and a matter of concern to healthcare professionals.
一次性使用医疗设备使用量的不断增加，是由于人们对医源性（源自希腊语，由医生引起）和医院感染的认识不断提高。与可传播性海绵状脑病，特别是变异型克雅氏病（vCJD）、人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）和乙型肝炎相关的公共卫生观念，在政治议程上占据重要位置，也是医疗保健专业人员关注的问题。
