HARTMANN Peha® Instruments – Single Use Surgical Instruments
The HARTMANN Peha® Instruments category comprises sterile, single-use surgical instruments made from high-quality stainless steel, developed for safe, efficient, and hygienic use in clinical practice. Manufactured by HARTMANN, Peha® instruments combine the handling and precision of reusable steel instruments with the safety and process advantages of single-use solutions.
Each instrument is individually sterile packed and intended for one-time use, making Peha® instruments particularly suitable for healthcare facilities seeking reliable hygiene, predictable workflows, and simplified logistics.

Time & Resource Savings
One of the key benefits of HARTMANN Peha® instruments is the substantial reduction of time and operational resources throughout the entire clinical workflow.
No Reprocessing Required
Because Peha® instruments are single-use and sterile, all reprocessing steps associated with reusable instruments are eliminated:
- No cleaning or manual pre-washing
- No disinfection or sterilization cycles
- No functional testing or re-sterilization
- No documentation or traceability effort for reprocessing
This ensures immediate instrument availability, which is especially valuable in emergency care, outpatient surgery, and high-turnover clinical environments.
Optimized Staff Utilization
By removing reprocessing tasks, healthcare facilities can:
- Reduce workload in central sterile supply departments (CSSD)
- Reallocate staff time to direct patient care
- Avoid delays caused by unavailable or late instruments
Predictable Costs & Simplified Logistics
Single-use Peha® instruments allow for:
- Clear, procedure-based cost allocation
- Reduced investment in sterilization equipment, maintenance, and validation
- Simplified inventory management with consistent availability
Overall, HARTMANN Peha® instruments support leaner processes, faster turnaround times, and improved operational efficiency.
Hygiene, Safety & Quality
Each Peha® instrument is individually sterile packed with a long shelf life, ensuring reliable sterility at the point of use.
A key safety feature is Peha Colour Lock®, a permanent color marking that clearly identifies the instrument as single-use. This marking is abrasion-resistant, disinfectant-resistant, and prevents accidental mixing with reusable instruments.
All Peha® instruments are manufactured from matt-finished stainless steel, offering familiar handling, precise function, and mechanical stability comparable to reusable surgical instruments.
Environmental Considerations
Although designed for single use, HARTMANN Peha® instruments are developed with environmental responsibility in mind.
Reduced Resource Consumption
Reusable instruments require repeated use of:
- Water
- Energy (washing, disinfection, steam sterilization)
- Chemical detergents and disinfectants
Peha® instruments completely eliminate these recurring resource demands, resulting in a lower cumulative environmental impact, particularly in facilities with high reprocessing volumes.
Recyclable Material
Stainless steel is fundamentally recyclable. After use, Peha® instruments can be disposed of according to clinical waste regulations, supporting responsible material recovery where applicable.
Process-Related Waste Reduction
By avoiding failed reprocessing cycles, damaged instruments, and incomplete sets, Peha® instruments help prevent:
- Unnecessary repeat sterilization
- Premature disposal of reusable instruments
- Overstocking of backup instrument sets
When used strategically, HARTMANN Peha® instruments contribute to a more sustainable and resource-efficient healthcare system.
Ideal for Modern Healthcare Settings
HARTMANN Peha® single-use surgical instruments are particularly well suited for:
- Outpatient and day surgery centers
- Emergency and trauma care
- Clinics with limited sterilization capacity
- Facilities focused on efficiency, hygiene, and process reliability
By combining stainless steel quality, single-use safety, and streamlined workflows, HARTMANN Peha® instruments offer a practical, future-oriented solution for modern surgical practice.
