Used Medical Equipment

What is the most expensive thing you have ever purchased?  In most cases, people's answers would be either a house or a car.  Once you purchase a house, you will also need to furnish it.  Spending so much money on a new home and then having to furnish it can be quite expensive.  The cost of furniture can quickly add up as you purchase pieces for every single room of your home.  This may be a costly venture, but one that is necessary as well.  I mean, what good is a home without any furniture making it livable?  The same principle applies to a business.  An office without the necessary equipment will serve very little purpose.  This is especially true for a hospital or doctor's office.  Now if you thought that buying furniture for your home was pricey, just think about what it would cost to equip an entire medical facility.

Medical equipment can be very expensive.  Thanks to their high price tags, many clinics and hospitals are opting to purchase used equipment when they are starting out.  An EKG or electrocardiogram machine can cost you about $5000 alone.  That's for just one piece of equipment!  Other machines such as ones used for MRIs cost much more.  When you add together the price to purchase, delivery, installation and fees for training to use the equipment, prices can soar to the millions!

Clinics can save a ton of money by purchasing refurbished medical equipment.  They are often sold by other hospitals and clinics that are sizing down or closing altogether.  The units are then refurbished by technicians and resold.  After repairs, the units are often times in better condition than they were previously.  Buying these refurbished units provides considerable discounts when compared to new units.

If you plan on trying to purchase some refurbished medical equipment, be sure to do some research online beforehand.  Save yourself or your hospital some money by buying up quality refurbished medical equipment.
