Orvue is being developed as a single-use device rather than a reusable instrument adapted to a single-use workflow.
Reusable laparoscopic equipment carries a reprocessing burden: cleaning, sterilisation, tracking, and the scheduling that depends on all three.
Designing for single use from the outset changes what the device has to be, rather than adding a constraint late.
A single-use assumption runs through the mechanical design, the materials and the manufacturing approach. It is a decision taken early, not a packaging choice taken at the end.
Materials and manufacturing are in development. Nothing here describes a released specification.
