Medical equipment that has been repaired to a workable state without altering its original specifications is referred to as refurbished equipment. Refurbishment entails removing the old machine and performing a complete service on all parts, then sanitizing, cleaning, painting, and replacing any worn-out or broken parts. After that, the item is offered for sale for a significant discount as compared to a brand-new model. Because of these advantages, reconditioned equipment is widely used in clinics, hospitals, and other healthcare settings.
