FAQs
What should I consider when buying used surgical lights or microscopes?
When buying used surgical lights or microscopes, prioritise quality and compliance with relevant standards. We ensure the equipment has been thoroughly inspected for both functional and cosmetic condition, and check for essential markings such as CE certification and manufacturer traceability codes, which indicate adherence to safety and quality regulations.
We assess the optical performance of microscopes, confirming clarity and precision, and verify that all moving parts operate smoothly.
What are the benefits of purchasing used operating theatre devices?
Buying used equipment for the operating theatre gives healthcare facilities many useful advantages. One of the main advantages is cost reduction, since buying used equipment is far less expensive than buying new, so hospitals and clinics can use their money in other areas.
Our used devices are often restored to like-new condition through rigorous inspection, cleaning, and replacement of worn or outdated parts, ensuring high quality and reliability comparable to new equipment. We also provide a 3-month warranty and service support, giving buyers confidence in their purchase.

The Hilditch Group employs an in-house medical engineering team, certified to ISO 9001 and 13485 standards, to inspect, prepare, and service all equipment before it is offered for sale.
