Question
I'm doing some research into the price for "used" surgical instruments. Is there a market for used instruments? If so, any "rules of thumb" or pricing advice you might give for cardiology instruments that are 1 - 2 years old? Thanks very much.

Answer

Dear Jeff:

We do not deal with used surgical instruments, but there are plenty of people that do.  You may wish to continue your search on the internet.  As far as a rule of thumb, 1) you get what you pay for, 2) request limited warranty ussually 3-6 months on the instruments you purchase.

Good luck.

Question
Can an ocular echography and an thyroid echography be done with the same equipment since the trasnsducer uses 10 Mhz for both parts? If so, I'd like to know models and prices ThanksDr JR ToledoCaracas, Venezuela

Answer

Dr. JR,

With echography, the determinant factor regarding specific equipment/transducers depends on the density of the material you are screening.  We do not know the specific densities of different parts of the anatomy.  Therefore, it may be in your best interest to test different equipment before purchasing.  Once you find a specific piece of equipment and are in the market to purchase, we can be of more help.  Click on the link below to evaluate our inventory of:
