Animals can develop some of the same diseases as humans, especially cancer. When you go to the Vet you don’t always think about your animals ailments in terms of terminal illness. Most trips to the vet are routine. But when your pet is really sick, more and more Veterinarians are turning to human medical technology to understand the diagnosis.
“Laparoscopy, which most people know as Gall Bladder removal in Humans, has created highly sensitive technology over the past 20 years. This new technology is making its way into the Veterinarian markets,” says Chad Avakian, a medical equipment recycler for the past 11 years. “Even though veterinarians want the newest technology to treat their patients, it is very expensive and for most cost prohibitive. So in order to keep up with medical trends, a lot of veterinarians are turning to used medical equipment a few years old”
Since veterinary medicine does not really have an insurance re-imbursment for many surgical proceedure, veterinarian are forced to buy this equipment out of their own pocket and usually for cash. This makes obtaining a $200,000 video system for detecting and removing cancer unattainable.
But when a hospital upgrades their technology they often sell their old equipment at auction and for a fraction of the cost. This allows Veterinarians the opportunity to obtain equipment at a reasonable cost.
This used medical equipment can then be used to treat everything from a bone stuck in the throat of a dog, to seeing and treating cancer in the stomach of a cat.
