Remember Rentals: The Simple Strategy to Make the Most of Your Equipment Budget

Bluestone Diagnostics deals exclusively in refurbished medical diagnostic imaging equipment. We work with hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, outpatient clinics, pain management specialists, and other health care providers who need c-arms, mini c-arms, digital and analog x-ray machines, ultrasound systems and more. And what’s the number one reason these facilities turn to Bluestone Diagnostics?

They want to save money. Choosing refurbished diagnostic imaging equipment can be much more affordable than sourcing the same units directly from the manufacturer. That’s not surprising – it’s just like buying a used car is more affordable than getting a brand new one.  For example, the GE OEC 9800, OEC 9900, and other GE OEC C-Arms – the models used in emergency rooms all over America and familiar to almost every experienced rad tech and clinician – cost significantly less when it comes from Bluestone.

That’s wonderful news, but the fact is that sometimes, achieving a significant savings simply isn’t enough. If you need a c-arm or other diagnostic imaging equipment and your budget doesn’t allow for a purchase, you should know you have other options.

What You Need to Know About C-Arm Rentals

C-Arms are one of the most versatile, useful pieces of imaging equipment. They’re used for diagnosis and image-guided treatment procedures. C-Arms are generally not available for rental directly from the manufacturer: that’s not a service they offer at the present time. This means your best option for renting a c-arm is to work with a trusted provider of refurbished diagnostic imaging equipment, like Bluestone Diagnostics.

There are a couple advantages to renting equipment. First and foremost, renting equipment is an operating expense, compared to purchasing a piece of equipment, which adds an asset to your balance sheet. Second, renting gives the health care facility the most flexible position: you are free to rent the equipment for only as long as you need it, without committing to a long-term lease.

All of the c-arms we provide – whether that’s through a purchase, lease, or rental – are rental systems are often delivered unrefurbished, calibrated, thoroughly tested, and ready to use upon being placed in-service. Our service and support team is one of the best in the industry, and we are proud of our reputation for always treating our customers well.
