Supplies for Medical Devices

Provide your customers with all of the necessary supplies to keep their medical devices working properly

Whether small or large, most medical devices require some form of accompanying supplies and accessories. As a medical devices retailer you need to be aware of all of the supplies that accompany the devices you sell.

From hearing aid batteries to glucose meter test strips, it's important to stock everything your customers need to ensure they keep their business with you. When stocking supplies for medical devices, do the following:

1. Find batteries for medical alert devices and handheld devices.

2. Buy replacement parts and disposable components for medical products that are used daily or that come in different sizes.

3. Offer extra add-on accessories for comfort and ease of use.

 

Provide batteries for a wide range of medical devices

Many computerized medical devices and diagnostic devices operate on battery power or have battery backup features in case of a power outage. Keep a medical device list of the batteries used in each device to help customers replace their batteries easily when needed.
Try: BFM Wholesale stocks batteries for a wide selection of hearing aids. BatteryWholesale.com offers batteries for a vast range of wheelchairs and personal scooters.

Stock replacement parts and accessories for medical devices being used long term

Personal medical devices that are used regularly often have disposal components and/or parts that need to be replaced over time. Offer replacement tubing, cuffs, masks, pads and other device parts and supplies to ensure your customers won't need to look elsewhere.
Try: Stock replacement tubing, filters and connectors for nebulizers from Independence Medical. It offers supplies compatible with medical devices made by Allegiance, Vital Signs and other well known medical device companies. Sell glucose test strips to meet your diabetic customers' needs. Medical Supply Group offers strips by Trueread, Accu-Chek, Ascensia, Advocate and several other major medical device producers.

Look to sell extra accessories and supplies that add comfort to medical devices

While most medical devices help to improve the lives of their users, comfort and style are not always taken care of. Supplies designed to make devices more comfortable, easy-to-use and fun, especially for children, should not be overlooked. Keep some of these amenities in stock to keep your customers comfortable and happy.
Try: Southeast Medical Supply offers a selection of replacement blood pressure cuffs that fit a range of sizes to ensure the most comfortable fit. Pediatric Supplier provides a wide range of fun and colorful compressor nebulizer supplies and accessories for young patients. Contact the company for wholesale pricing options.

 

• Stock various sizes of supplies for medical devices such as arm cuffs, braces and walkers to accommodate everyone from children to bariatric patients.
