Off-Site Reprocessing · The ORC Model · Canada & U.S.
The OR keeps operating. The reprocessing moves.
A centralized off-site reprocessing centre (ORC) does what no in-hospital department can: absorb volume without construction, shift capital and liability off your books, and hold quality to contractual KPIs — at system scale. SteriPro has run one of North America's first centralized ORCs since 2011. Now we're building in the United States.
Why Systems Move Off-Site
Four problems one facility solves at once.
How It Works
Hub, spokes, and a monitored road between.
Soiled instruments travel out, sterile instruments travel back — in SteriChain™ monitored transport with documented custody. One hub serves many hospitals; volumes flex per site, per day.
Serving partners up to seven hours by road — one engagement runs 400 km each way, 15 round trips a week, logged end to end.
United States
The model is crossing the border.
SteriPro International Inc. operates in the U.S. today — including managed sterile processing for a major public health system — from our U.S. head office in Chicago. The next step is underway: bringing centralized off-site reprocessing to American health systems.

The Executive Briefing
45 minutes. Not a sales call.
If your hospital or health system is evaluating off-site reprocessing — anywhere in Canada or the United States — we'll walk your leadership through what fifteen years of running an ORC has taught us, applied to your numbers.
- Who it's for: COOs, VPs of surgical services, supply chain and capital planning executives
- What we cover: volume thresholds where off-site pays, transport radius math, capital-vs-variable comparison, the regulatory frame on your side of the border
- What you leave with: an honest read on whether off-site fits your system — including when it doesn't
