What type of supplies cannot be reused?

Expendable supplies are items that are intended for one-time use and cannot be reused once they have been utilized. These supplies are typically used during treatment or in general athletic training settings where maintaining hygiene and preventing infection is critical. Examples include items like bandages, tapes, single-use gloves, and antiseptic wipes. Once they have been used, they should be disposed of properly and cannot be sterilized or reused safely.

In contrast, non-consumable capital equipment refers to more durable items like athletic training tables and therapeutic modalities that are not singularly used up. Non-expendable supplies are items that can be used multiple times, although they may experience wear and tear. Consumable capital equipment, while a less common term, typically includes capital items intended for limited use but may not fit the common definition of expendable items. Understanding the distinctions among these categories is essential for effective inventory management in athletic training environments.
