Can reusing heart catheters be safe and green? new study investigates

NCT ID NCT07522424

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether re-sterilized (reprocessed) catheters work as well as new ones for heart ablation procedures. About 200 adults needing this treatment will be randomly assigned to get either a new or a reprocessed catheter. Researchers will compare how long the procedure takes, how safe it is, the cost, and how much medical waste is produced. The goal is to see if reusing catheters can be a safe, cheaper, and more environmentally friendly option.
