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.

  • Capital becomes variable cost. Washers, sterilizers, and the space they demand stop competing with clinical capital — one partner avoided $5.3M in equipment alone.
  • The capacity ceiling lifts. 2,000+ trays a day of centralized capacity absorbs surgical growth, renovations, and surges — no rebuild required.
  • Liability transfers. Reprocessing quality risk moves to SteriPro contractually, backed by KPIs reported monthly.
  • Quality standardizes. Every site in your network gets the same accredited operation, the same instrument-level traceability, the same published numbers.

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.

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
