title: [Questions about re-sterilization and reuse of sterile disposable devices].
abstract: Authors deal with the problems of restilization and reuse of sterile disposable devices on the basis of literary data, their own experiences, and the standpoints offered on the Fourth Symposium of the Canadian Office for Health Technology Assessment. They state, though the reuse of sterile disposable items is possible to work out, it needs a very sophisticated technology, its thriftiness is often doubtful, and the related legal and ethical problems are mostly unsettled. The personal, material and legal preconditions assuring a safe reuse do not exist in Hungary at present.
