At Auxo Medical, we believe that every healthcare facility deserves access to high-quality medical equipment without the burden of excessive costs. Refurbished medical equipment offers a practical, cost-effective solution for hospitals, clinics, ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs), and laboratories looking to optimize their budgets while maintaining exceptional patient care standards. With nearly 30 years in business, we specialize in providing certified refurbished medical devices that meet OEM (original equipment manufacturer) specifications, backed by warranties and nationwide support.

In this guide, we’ll explore the benefits of refurbished medical equipment, our rigorous restoration process, and how partnering with Auxo Medical ensures your facility stays equipped with reliable, compliant technology.

Why Choose Refurbished Medical Equipment?

1. Significant Cost Savings

Refurbished medical equipment from Auxo Medical costs 30–50% less than new models, allowing facilities to:

• Reallocate budgets to staffing, training, or other critical needs.
• Modernize multiple departments simultaneously.
• Access premium brands like GE Healthcare, Stryker, Steris, and Mindray at affordable prices.

For example, a refurbished Stryker 1037 Trauma Stretcher offers versatility that allows for full-length X-ray imaging without the need to move the patient on the stretcher and a 500 lb weight capacity at up-to half the cost of a new unit.
