Biomedical engineering plays a central role in the healthcare sector, but it also consumes significant resources and generates hazardous waste, such as single-use instruments. In this context, the concept of “sustainability in medical devices” has emerged, aiming to design and develop devices that are reusable, easy to maintain, and recyclable.<br /><br />Recent initiatives include the use of eco-friendly materials such as biodegradable biopolymers, and the adoption of 3D printing technologies to minimize waste. Devices are also being designed for easy disassembly and maintenance, extending their operational lifespan and reducing medical waste.<br /><br />This shift not only improves the environmental footprint of the healthcare sector but is also more cost-effective in the long run—especially in developing countries that face limited medical funding.<br /><br />However, realizing this vision requires changes in medical policies and collaboration among engineers, physicians, and regulators to establish clear standards that ensure the safety and efficiency of such devices.<br /><br />The future of biomedical engineering will not only be precise and intelligent—it will also be green and environmentally friendly.<br /><br />Al-Mustaqbal University is the first University in Iraq.
