Medical Equipment FAQ

Everything you need to know about renting or buying medical equipment from Must Medical in Surrey and the Lower Mainland.

Rentals & Pricing

How does medical equipment rental work?

You contact us with your equipment needs and rental duration. We confirm availability, arrange delivery to your home, set up the equipment, and pick it up when your rental period ends. Rentals are available weekly, monthly, or on a longer-term basis.

How much does it cost to rent a hospital bed?

Rental pricing depends on the bed type, rental duration, and any add-ons such as a pressure relief mattress. Contact us directly for a current quote — we offer competitive rates and flexible terms to suit your budget.

Is there a minimum rental period?

We offer flexible rental terms with no long minimum commitments. Whether you need equipment for one week or several months, we can accommodate your timeline.

Can I extend my rental if I need the equipment longer?

Yes. Simply contact us before your rental period ends and we’ll arrange an extension. We make it easy to adjust your rental as your needs change.

Can rental payments be applied toward a purchase?

In many cases, yes. If your short-term rental becomes a long-term need, we can discuss applying a portion of your rental payments toward the purchase price of the equipment.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept major credit cards, debit, and e-transfer. Contact us to confirm payment options for your specific order.

Hospital Beds

What types of hospital beds do you offer?

We carry semi-electric beds, full electric beds, low-height beds (ideal for fall prevention), and bariatric beds. Each type suits different care needs — our team can help you choose the right one. Browse hospital beds →

What is a low-height hospital bed and who needs one?

A low-height bed lowers close to the floor to reduce the risk of injury from falls. It’s commonly used for individuals with dementia, balance issues, or a high fall risk. View our low-height bed →

Does the hospital bed come with a mattress?

Yes. All hospital bed rentals include a standard foam mattress. A pressure relief or alternating air mattress upgrade is available for individuals at risk of pressure sores.

Do hospital beds come with side rails?

Yes. Side rails are included with hospital bed rentals for safety. Full-length and half-length rail options are available depending on the bed model.

Will the hospital bed fit through standard doorways?

Most hospital beds are designed to fit through standard 32–36 inch doorways. Our delivery team will assess your home layout during setup to ensure proper placement.

How do I know which hospital bed is right for my situation?

Our team will ask about the patient’s condition, mobility level, caregiver needs, and home layout to recommend the most appropriate bed. Contact us for guidance →

What is the difference between a wheelchair and a transport chair?

A standard wheelchair has large rear wheels that allow self-propulsion. A transport chair has smaller wheels and is designed to be pushed by a caregiver — it’s lighter and more compact.

Yes. We offer mobility scooter rentals for indoor and outdoor use. View mobility scooters →

Can I try equipment before renting or buying?
