Why Used C-Arms Are Worth Considering
C-arms are essential in a wide range of procedures—from orthopedics and pain management to vascular and general surgery. But they also represent a major capital purchase.
• New C-arm systems can cost $150,000 to $250,000 or more
• Refurbished or used units can cost 30–60% less
• Most provide the same level of clinical performance when properly restored
With healthcare costs rising and reimbursements tightening, many facilities are realizing they can maintain excellent imaging quality and functionality—without the new-equipment price tag.
The Cost Savings Are Substantial
When you choose a refurbished C-arm from Pacific Healthcare Imaging, you’re getting:
• A significant reduction in purchase cost
• The option to lease or finance for even more affordability
• Reduced depreciation compared to buying new
• Lower service and maintenance fees in many cases
Plus, your savings can be reinvested into staffing, marketing, facility expansion, or other equipment your clinic needs.
