Common Medical Equipment Used in Hospitals

There are several pieces of medical equipment that every hospital needs to have on hand to effectively treat patients. Here are just a few of the pieces of machinery hospitals use on a regular basis:

In Radiology - Common pieces in radiology include x-ray machines, ultrasound machines, x-ray lights, and tables. Certain pieces like the x-ray machine itself and the ultrasound machinery are some of the most expensive in radiology. Hospitals that are looking to stay within budget can usually buy equipment that is a year or two old through a refurbished medical equipment company.

In Surgery - Generally when you think of surgery the first thing that comes to mind is the surgical knives. But there is far more used in surgery than that. Laser machines, surgical tables, stirrups, massive lighting pieces, oxygen machines, and more.

In Cardiology - EKG machines might come to mind for cardiology, but there are other machines used as well. For instance, the defibrillator is used to restart the heart when it has stopped. These machines are necessary for all areas of the hospital, but are definitely used in cardiology.

Breathing machines and other pieces are used, as well as tables, beds, and wheelchairs. A stress system is common to cardiology as well to test how a patient's heart responds to stress in a safe setting.

With so many pieces of equipment used in the hospital, the bill for such equipment can add up rather quickly. Imagine each piece you use for your own visit. From the bed to the shower chair, these things are in every room of the hospital. Each piece must withstand small and large patients, and last for years at a time to be cost effective for the hospital.

Not every hospital is capable of purchasing all equipment brand new. Because costs add up so quickly, even the smallest hospitals can quickly spend millions of dollars on equipment when starting out. This is why refurbished medical equipment is so important to the industry.

Small hospitals that are just opening can purchase more items that are refurbished in order to save money. On the other hand, hospitals or practices that are closing can recoup some of the costs of their equipment by selling used pieces. This money can then be used to pay off other debts.

When it comes refurbished medical equipment, it's important to realize that the older equipment is usually just as good or very useful in its aged state. Ultrasound machines that are a couple of years old can be used by several practices in a city. A more advanced machine can then be stationed at an imaging center and when it is needed, the practices can send patients here to get scans.

Generally practices don't need the top of the line to see most issues in their patients. By having one advanced ultrasound machine in the area, it can be used for the more difficult cases, and save all of the practices much needed resources. In the end everyone wins.
