Test Before Committing to Purchase: If you are uncertain which C-Arm you want to purchase or your facility is considering a purchase but you’re uncertain of its long-term usefulness, renting offers a chance to try it out in your own clinical setting. This trial period allows you to see how much you like the C-Arm while also confirming that it fits your procedural needs. This is especially useful when introducing a new procedure to your practice, as the initial patient volume may not justify a significant investment in new equipment. Renting a C-arm provides the technology needed to support that procedure without a large upfront cost, allowing your facility to expand its patient base before fully committing to purchasing the equipment.
New Physician Joining your Practice: Facilities often invest in equipment based on the expertise or the insistence of newly hired physicians to work with a specific C-Arm. However, if a key physician leaves unexpectedly, the need for that C-Arm might leave with him or her. Renting a C-Arm offers flexibility, allowing you to adjust equipment needs if staff changes occur.
Solution During Construction: If you are doing construction on your facility, you might need a short term imaging solution. Renting a C-Arm could be a good short term alternative to an interventional Cath Lab during the construction. You might also not want to commit to a C-Arm during construction but still need a unit on site that allows you to perform your normal fluoroscopy procedures. Short-term rentals help bridge this gap, ensuring continuous patient care during the construction.
Managing Your Budget: If your practice is working with a limited budget, renting offers a reliable solution at a palatable cost. You should see a return on your investment after only a few procedures. We also offer rent-to-own packages where a portion of your rental payment would go towards the eventual purchase of the C-Arm. This is an alternative which allows you to make similar monthly payments without the long term commitment if your plans for the C-Arm change.
Now that we've highlighted the main reasons renting a C-Arm could be the right choice for your facility, let's take a look at what you can expect when you choose to rent.
