There is plenty of free medical equipment out there, if you know where to look. But be aware that most of it will be used equipment, and that does come with risks, and you must properly check the equipment for cracks and faulty parts.<\/p>\n
That said, I have put together a list of organizations giving away free medical equipment, websites where free equipment is posted by private individuals, places to buy cheap used medical equipment, along with instructions on how to apply where necessary.<\/p>\n
