Best Practices for Storage of Reusable Medical Devices in the Military Health System
Although surgical teams' capabilities are crucial in delivering effective care in a dynamic environment, the management and storage of RMDs are equally essential. Numerous organizations have outlined rigorous guidelines for HCOs to comply with, which can be intensified in austere conditions. Ultimately, a commitment to integrating the literature and developing the groundwork for clinical practice guidelines can improve the safe storage of RMDs in both standard and austere environments.
