Send the list. One cash number, in writing, within 24 hours.
No listing period, no reserve price, no waiting to see whether a buyer shows up. We buy every category, working or not, nationally, and we take whole-room and whole-facility buyouts in full.
What we buy
Everything. We rent surgical equipment for a living, so a piece that is idle in your storage room is inventory to us rather than a problem to resell. That is why the list below ends the way it does.
C-arms and mini C-arms
Full-size fluoroscopy and extremity units, image intensifier or flat panel, with or without the monitor cart.
Surgical microscopes
Ceiling, wall, and floor-stand units, plus objectives, tube assemblies, and camera attachments.
Endoscopy and arthroscopy towers
Whole towers, or the pieces of one: camera control units, light sources, insufflators, monitors, scopes, couplers.
Anesthesia machines
Machines, vaporizers, and the monitoring that came with them.
OR tables and imaging tables
General surgical tables, specialty tables, and the accessory sets people forget to include.
Everything else in the room
Booms, lights, stretchers, sterilizers, warming cabinets, power tools, and the equipment that does not fit a tidy category. Send it anyway.
We do not publish a list of what we will not take, because in practice there is not one. If you are unsure whether something is worth including, include it: the cost of asking is one line on a spreadsheet.
Four steps, and we do three of them
Send the List
A spreadsheet, a photo of the room, or a walkthrough on the phone. Model and serial numbers make the number tighter and faster; we can work without them.
We Price It
Every piece is valued on its condition and on what that model is trading for right now. You get a cash number per item, or one number for the whole lot.
Offer Within 24 Hours
One number, in writing, with the reasoning behind it. No listing period, no reserve price, no waiting to see whether a buyer shows up.
We Handle the Pull
We coordinate deinstall, rigging, crating, and freight, so your team is not managing removal vendors on top of everything else.
What moves the number
How this compares to the alternatives
Selling to us is not the right answer in every case. Here is the honest version of the choice.
Auction
Time-bound and uncertain. You set a date, pay the fees, and find out what the room brings on the day. Good for volume, hard to plan around.
Broker listing
Your equipment sits on a listing until a buyer appears. The broker is paid on success, so nothing moves until something sells, and the timeline is not yours.
OEM trade-in credit
Usually only worth something against a new purchase from the same manufacturer, which makes it a discount rather than a sale.
Selling to us
A cash number within 24 hours and a removal date you choose. You trade some upside for a certain outcome on a certain date; that is the honest trade.
Whole-facility buyouts
Whole-room and whole-facility buyouts are a normal transaction here, and they are usually cleaner than selling a closure piece by piece. We take the contents in full, on a date that works against your lease.
Selling a C-arm
C-arms are the most frequently traded piece in an ASC, and their value moves on details that are easy to overlook. We wrote a separate page on what sets the number.
Tell us what you have
Whatever detail you have is enough to start. If you would rather send a spreadsheet or photographs, email sales@surgicalequipmentrentals.com or call (312) 964-8033 and we will take it from there.
Common questions
What equipment do you buy?
All of it. C-arms, surgical microscopes, endoscopy and arthroscopy towers, anesthesia machines, OR tables, and the things that are harder to place. We would rather look at a list and tell you what is worth moving than have you guess in advance what we want.
Do you buy equipment that does not work?
Yes. Non-working units still have value in parts and in refurbishment. The number is lower, and it is still a number. Tell us what is wrong with it rather than leaving it off the list.
Do you pay cash, or is this a consignment?
Cash purchase. We buy the equipment outright, which means you know the amount before it leaves the building and you are not waiting on someone else to sell it.
How fast do you respond?
Within 24 hours of getting your list. If you are working against a lease expiration or a closing date, say so when you send it and we will work to that date.
Where do you buy?
Nationally. We arrange removal and freight anywhere in the United States.
Do I need model and serial numbers?
They help, and they are not a prerequisite. Photographs of the equipment and of the labels on the back of each unit are usually enough to get started.
Can you take everything at once?
Yes. Whole-room and whole-facility buyouts are a normal transaction for us, and they are usually simpler than selling a closure piece by piece.
Will you tell me what it is worth before I commit to selling?
Yes. A valuation is not an obligation. Facilities use our numbers for budgeting, for board approval, and for deciding whether to sell now or keep running the equipment.
