Your rental rate covers more than you think.
When weighing rent vs. buy, the sticker price isn't the whole story. Every C-Arm Now rental includes the ongoing costs and risks that come with ownership — costs that shift entirely to you the moment you purchase.
What's included in every rental
Service & Maintenance
No service contracts to negotiate, no call-out fees. Our in-house engineers and national service network keep your system running — at no additional cost.
Battery Replacements
C-arm batteries typically need replacement every 18–24 months — a ~$2,500 cost per cycle. When you rent, that's on us, not you.
Loaner & Replacement Coverage
If your system has a major failure, we provide a loaner or complete replacement unit so your procedures don't stop. Owners are on their own arranging coverage.
Upgrade Anytime
Clinical needs change. If you need more power, a larger image field, or a flat-detector system, you can switch models or add features at any point during your term.
Equipment Refresh on Renewal
When your contract renews, you have the option to move to a newer model. No need to sell aging equipment or justify another capital purchase.
Renting vs. purchasing — side by side
| Purchasing | Renting from C-Arm Now | |
|---|---|---|
| Large upfront purchase price plus potential financing charges — a significant capital commitment before the system turns on. | Low cost of entry — typically only the first month's payment is required upfront. | |
| Batteries, service contracts, unexpected repairs, and downtime costs fall entirely on the owner. Budget ~$2,500 per battery cycle alone. | All maintenance, battery replacements, and repair costs are included in your monthly rate. No surprise invoices. | |
| Capitalized as a depreciating asset — requires depreciation tracking and offers limited immediate tax benefit. | In most cases, rental payments are fully deductible as an operating expense in the year they're incurred. | |
| Finding and contracting a credible, responsive service provider for a purchased system is difficult and often costly. | C-Arm Now's in-house engineers and national network are already part of your rental — no separate service relationship needed. | |
| During an extended repair, arranging a loaner or daily rental is an added expense and logistical headache — while procedures are on hold. | We provide a free loaner or complete replacement unit during major repairs. Your schedule doesn't stop. | |
| Locked into aging equipment. Upgrades or model changes require another capital investment and the cost of disposing of the old system. | Switch models, add configurations, or refresh to newer equipment at renewal — no capital decision required. |
