Question
I notice that large retail outlets (e.g. Wal-Mart, Target) don't sell canes, walkers, etc. Is there a reason for this?
Answer
Dear Aja:
We have heard of the rumors that Wal-Mart was planning to offer some medical equipment and supplies. However, we are not sure if they are actually going forward with it. Perhaps, these organizations are not yet set-up to deal with Medicare requirements or due to liability issues or perhaps these products take up a lot of retail space.

Question
Currently budgeting for an office to open where hydraulic stretcher beds would be needed. New considered however interested in used. Please advise.
Answer
Dear Ms. Moratz:
Thank you for inquiry. In our experience it is only practical to purchase used beds when you are able to locate a vendor in your immeadiate area. The reasons for that are simple; 1) most used beds/ stretchers come pre-assembled, therefore shippng them long distances will be expensive due to the space they occupy vs. new beds which come in compact, ready to ship boxes, 2) used beds rarely come with any warranty, i.e. you keep what you buy, so you need someone locally to service the products, finally, 3) you will need to purchase new mattreses or make certain to steam clean the old. Ultimately, unless you have a reliable, local supplier, over a period of time it will likely cost you more to get a used bed/ stretcher versus new. For any other questions please call us toll free at 877-706-4480.
