Guide to Used and Refurbished Medical Equipment

Find used medical equipment for sale online

Some websites allow you to search for used and refurbished medical equipment from a variety of suppliers. This will help you compare prices as well as any "extras" like free delivery and setup.

I recommend: At LabX, you search thousands of ads posted by top suppliers of used and refurbished medical equipment. AKW Medical allows you to sign up for periodic email updates of used medical equipment for sale in case there’s a specialized item you are having trouble finding.

Make a deal with manufacturers of used and refurbished medical equipment

Many suppliers of used and refurbished medical equipment are willing to purchase used medical equipment or make a trade for any new, used or refurbished medical supplies you need.

I recommend: Foremost Equipment has refurbished medical patient monitors among other medical equipment; you can also sell your under-used or obsolete equipment to them. Plaza Medical Inc., based in Denver, Colorado, not only offers new and used medical equipment but can also repair problematic medical equipment. They even accept trade-ins and purchase used hospital equipment outright as well. 

Consider a used medical supplies consultant

If you're considering starting your own practice, you may want advice on how much to budget for medical equipment as well as how much used hospital equipment can save you.

I recommend: Venture Medical ReQuip, Inc. can provide strategies for implementing used and refurbished medical equipment in your healthcare center.

Cover all your bases before you buy used medical equipment

Evaluate the warranty from the used medical equipment supplier to ensure you have some sort of safety net in case the refurbished medical equipment malfunctions or is not what you were expecting.

I recommend: Ardus Medical offers a one-year warranty on any refurbished medical equipment purchased from its inventory, which includes defibrillators, infusion pumps and more.
