We supply items that need to be replaced on a routine basis, including:
disposables, single use items, e.g. disposable syringes and needles;
expendables (sometimes also called consumables), items that are used within a
short time, e.g. cotton wool, laboratory stains and tape; reusable items, e.g.
catheters and sterilisable syringes; and other items with a short life span, e.g.
thermometers, capital equipment and durable items that last for several years,
e.g. beds, examination tables, sterilisers, microscopes, weighing scales and
bedpans.
