As a not-for-profit clinic, I know how difficult it may be to find good-quality medical equipment from reliable sources. However, we have managed throughout the years to be lucky enough to have had little problems infinding our great medical equipment. Here are some valuable resources to discovering medical equipment sales that will help you stock your hospital or home:
Medicare: The Internet is the absolute best go-to source for everything that you will need. Whether you need an EKG machine or a pulse oximeter, you will have no trouble finding it online. The only hard part is finding it at a discount. Since Medicare pays for a lot of durable medical equipment for many people, it is a good starting place to begin your search. On their web site, they have a supplier directory that has a comprehensive list of all the manufacturers and their medical equipment sales. You simply have to type in your Zip Code and you’re half way there.
Online Auctions: With online auctions such as eBay or Yahoo! you will find medical equipment at grossly discounted prices. Because they are based on bids from other users (basically other buyers who are vying for the same product), you can bid your own personal offer. If you end up winning, then great. If not, then at least you know that you didn’t end up paying beyond your limit and can easily find another auction for the same item.
Charity Drives: Oftentimes, hospital charities will have drives where they may sell or donate medical equipment. The price range on the things you find here are pretty varied but it’s always worth a shot because you never know what you will find. If you attend one, you will not only find a wide selection of medical equipment but you may also end up networking with other people who are looking for the same thing you are. If you join forces with them, you might find what you want even quicker than you expected.
In the end, there are many medical equipment sales going on in both the digital and physical world. As long as you keep your eyes peeled, you will end up leaving with something worthwhile.
