What Medical Equipment Colleges Buy Most for Training

Educational institutions typically focus on equipment that provides hands-on learning value without requiring the newest clinical software or integrations. Some of the most commonly purchased refurbished equipment includes:

Infusion Pumps

Infusion pumps are widely used in nursing, EMS, and biomedical training programs. They allow students to learn:

• Basic infusion setup and operation
• Alarm recognition and response
• Preventive maintenance concepts

Patient Monitors

Multi-parameter patient monitors are ideal for simulation labs, helping students understand vital signs, alarm thresholds, and patient assessment workflows.

Ventilators

Respiratory therapy and advanced nursing programs often use refurbished ventilators to teach ventilation modes, circuit setup, and troubleshooting—without the cost of new equipment.

Enteral Feeding Pumps

Feeding pumps are commonly used in nursing and long-term care education to teach enteral nutrition administration and patient safety fundamentals.

Compression Devices and Specialty Equipment

Sequential compression devices (SCDs), defibrillators for training, and specialty devices are frequently used in skills labs and simulation environments.

Refurbished equipment allows institutions to build well-rounded labs while keeping costs predictable.
