Medical Equipment Rentals in Altoona, WI

Medical Equipment Rentals
Sometimes life throws us a curveball, and we find ourselves recovering from surgery or an injury. If you’re experiencing these circumstances, you’ll be relieved to know that you don’t have to buy the necessary medical equipment to help you during your convalescence. Instead, why not look into renting? Renting is also a great option for visiting. Instead of traveling with bulky medical machinery, look into renting it at your destination. If you plan to host a friend or relative who depends on some kind of equipment, you can rent it on their behalf, and they’ll enjoy the convenience of using it without the hassle of traveling with it. At Grace Home respiratory, we’ve got a great selection of medical equipment rentals for your convenience. Please contact our helpful team at Grace Home Respiratory in Altoona, Wisconsin, conveniently located just outside of Eau Claire.
Our selection includes manual wheelchairs, hospital beds, and more to ensure your mobility and comfort, both outside and indoors. Whether for injury or post-surgical recovery, you can save money by renting. Another benefit of renting: If it’s not the right device for you, it’s easy to make a change. Renting actually offers an opportunity to “test drive” expensive pieces of medical equipment before you buy.

Rental Options for Medical Equipment
Not every kind of medical equipment will be available as a rental. For example, some devices would be at risk for cross-contamination, such as a CPAP or BiPAP machine. While routine sanitizing is part of standard maintenance on these devices, they are not typically rented because they might harbor contamination.
Lower priced and smaller medical items are usually for sale, not rent, because the initial investment is rather modest, so it makes more sense to buy them outright. Rental medical equipment generally focuses on pieces that are larger and higher cost. These are long-lasting devices that can be easily sanitized and are not prone to harboring germs.

Is Renting Right for You?
When you are deciding whether to rent or buy, you need to consider the price comparison between the two options, and the length of time you expect to need the device. It’s also important to find out whether the price is lower if you commit to a longer-term rental. We suggest you check out the costs associated with buying and renting, and then do the math. You also need to try to anticipate the future. For example, if you are experiencing generally reduced mobility, that is not likely to reverse, so consider purchasing instead of renting. However, if you experienced physical trauma due to injury or surgery, and you can expect to recover to your former condition, renting might be right for you.
If you’re recovering from major surgery such as a knee or hip replacement, a hospital bed at home can make all the difference in your recovery. A mobility aid such as a wheelchair can help you stay active and involved in your recovery. Whatever the case, we’re excited to discuss options with you at Grace Home Respiratory.
