Ascent helps hospitals act more environmentally responsible and improve the quality of healthcare through more sustainable resource allocations. We do this by reprocessing (cleaning, testing/verifying, packaging and sterilizing) and remanufacturing (disassembling, repairing, and manufacturing) delicate and costly devices that are marketed in North America as "single use" by the original manufacturer and often needlessly thrown away.
We provide the services to our partners needed to realize improved sustainability in medical device use:
Our partners include the full range of hospitals from small rural providers, community hospitals and surgery centers to large academic medical centers, integrated delivery networks, and group purchasing organizations. We deliver to our partners—including most of U.S. News & World Report's "Honor Roll" facilities—maximum positive financial and environmental impact through our innovative medical-device reprocessing and remanufacturing services.
Our expertise in advanced medical device technology, science-based quality assurance, and solutions-based clinical implementation, channeled through our unwavering commitment to patient safety and our partners’ success, has made Ascent an undisputed leader in improving patient care through the wise, efficient use of scarce healthcare resources.
