How to Buy Medical Equipment

by Contributing Writer

Overview

Whether you're a health professional in need of medical supplies for your clinic or hospital or you require medical supplies for home use, there are many stores where you can buy new and used medical equipment. Some online retailers offer free shipping or money back guarantees on their items. There are even online marketplaces where individuals and companies can buy and sell new and used medical equipment.

Step 1

Bid on new and refurbished medical equipment on labX, an online marketplace for medical and scientific equipment. Once you register for an account, labX allows you to place bids and run ads for free. The marketplace sells surgical equipment, diagnostic instruments, patient monitors and exam supplies. Medmarketplace.com is another website where users can buy and sell new and used medical equipment.
Step 2

Browse the selection of medical equipment at the Medical Supply Group. In addition to offering a comprehensive selection of medical equipment, the online retailer also sells physical therapy equipment, wheelchairs and reading glasses. The Medical Supply Group offers same day free shipping on certain items over $50.
Step 3

If you're looking for home medical equipment such as blood pressure monitors, thermometers and mobility aids, check your local drugstore. If your drugstore doesn't sell home medical equipment, shop online at drugstore.com or walgreens.com. Both retailers sell medical equipment for home use. Walgreens also has a large selection of hearing aid batteries and accessories.
Step 4

Purchase discounted medical mobility devices such as lift chairs, power chairs, scooters and walkers at U.S. Medical Supplies. The online retailer offers next day shipping, a 10-day return policy and financing on many scooters, bathtubs and wheelchairs. You can also get coupons sent to you by email.
