Recoup investment: Sell used hospital equipment online

New advances in health care seem to be reported every day. When these advances involved new medical devices, it can be cost-effective for health care professionals to sell used hospital equipment online through a new company, MedBay Inc.

MedBay Inc. has unveiled a new, dynamic marketplace for buying and selling hospital equipment online. Hospitals, clinics, surgery centers, doctors and dentists, and medical equipment manufacturers, among other professionals, have a new opportunity to obtain quality used hospital equipment online.

Medical professionals know that inactive equipment represents a financial drain on a health care practice. Plus, used hospital equipment that sits idle could improve health care elsewhere, especially in areas without the resources to purchase large amounts of new equipment. Recognizing these needs, MedBay Inc. wants to serve its clients with an auction website to sell and buy hospital equipment online.

MedBay Inc.'s web site offers a safe and secure way to conduct transactions for used hospital equipment online. All listings are posted through the MedBay Network of clients. The company owns none of the offered hospital equipment. MedBay also employs a full-service sales force that understands medical equipment. The staff is devoted to helping clients with every aspect of the sale or purchase of used hospital equipment online.

Categories at www.medbay.com show a range of new and used hospital equipment. For instance, consider the crucial role played today by imaging in diagnosis and treatment. A small regional hospital could benefit enormously from being able to purchase good quality used hospital equipment online such as a Bone Densitometer to check for osteroporosis, a Lithotripter for the diagnosis and treatment of kidney stones or gallstones or a Magnetic Resonance Imager with its multiple uses. Mammography equipment for early detection of breast cancer and devices for Radiation Therapy to treat many cancers would help dozens of patients.

MedBay Inc. also offers used hospital equipment online that aids elderly patients with maintaining their mobility, a key ingredient for a good quality of life. Everything from familiar devices such as canes, crutches and walkers up to devices such as wheelchairs and motorized scooters can be found on MedBay.

Selling and buying hospital online can save hospitals thousands of dollars and help keep health care costs contained. Plus there's added, and very marketable, bonus to purchasing hospital equipment online: It shows that a medical facility is committed to helping preserve the environment by making use of pre-owned equipment that's still in quality condition. Patients and health care professionals alike are becoming ever more aware of the potential waste in modern health care, and applaud efforts to reduce its environmental impact.

As a way of introducing its service to new customers, MedBay Inc. is offering two grand opening specials for clients who use its site to buy or sell hospital equipment online. These include unlimited item listings for new registered users and free advertising through Oct. 1, 2009.
