Navigating Medical Equipment Online: A Guide for First-Time Buyers
Shopping for medical equipment online can feel overwhelming—especially for first-time buyers. At Vigour Med Store, we make the process easier by helping you understand what to look for, what questions to ask, and how to ensure you're buying the right products from trusted suppliers.
Start by narrowing down the type of equipment you need:
-
Health monitoring devices (like blood pressure monitors or pulse oximeters)
-
Mobility aids (walkers, rollators, footrests)
-
Diagnostic kits (pregnancy tests, glucose kits, etc.)
-
Respiratory supplies (oxygen masks, demand valves, nebulizers)
-
Orthopedic equipment (splints, slings, braces)
-
Medical replacement parts (for monitors, AEDs, lifts, and more)
Knowing your category will help filter the thousands of options online.
Step 2: Look for Authorized Distributors
Buying from an authorized reseller like Vigour Med Store ensures:
-
Product authenticity
-
Manufacturer warranties
-
Access to spare parts and service
Avoid unknown sellers or listings that don’t clearly describe product origin.
Step 3: Understand Product Codes & Compatibility
Many items have specific part numbers like DBP-1400, 9146-302, or 8200-000100-01. If you're buying a replacement or upgrade, always match the product code. Our product pages and support team can help you cross-reference compatible parts.
Be sure your equipment meets regulatory standards (FDA, CE, etc.) and is intended for your setting:
-
Home use vs. clinical use
-
Adult vs. pediatric applications
-
Emergency vs. long-term care
Step 5: Read Reviews & Compare Prices
Use product reviews to assess performance and durability. Also compare pricing across reputable stores—but remember, lowest isn’t always best. Factors like shipping time, service, and support matter.
Step 6: Ask Questions Before You Buy

-
