Used C-Arms
Finding the right imaging equipment does not always mean buying new. Used C-arms offer cost-effective access to advanced imaging technology without the premium price tag.
Since 2004, Agito Medical has helped hospitals and clinics across Europe find reliable, cost-effective imaging solutions. Our inventory includes used and refurbished C-arms from leading manufacturers, thoroughly tested and ready for clinical use.
Understanding C-Arms and Their Benefits
C-arms are mobile imaging systems that provide real-time X-ray visualisation during surgical, orthopaedic and emergency procedures. The distinctive C-shaped arm connects the X-ray source and detector, allowing flexible positioning around patients.
Used C-arms offer a practical alternative when expanding imaging capabilities or replacing existing equipment. You gain access to high-quality technology that has been refurbished and tested, often at significant cost savings compared to new systems. This means you can access premium brands and advanced features that might otherwise exceed your budget.

Benefits of Choosing Used C-Arms
Lower Upfront Investment
Cost savings allow you to invest in other priorities while upgrading imaging capabilities.
Faster Availability
Used units typically ship within weeks rather than months, allowing you to begin operations sooner.
Proven Reliability
Many used C-arms come from facilities that upgraded, not because equipment failed. These systems have proven reliability in clinical settings.
Access to Premium Brands
You can access higher-end manufacturers like Siemens, GE or Philips when buying used, gaining better image quality and features than entry-level new equipment.
Quality Matters When Purchasing Used Equipment
Not all used medical equipment suppliers meet the same standards. When selecting a supplier, look for one who thoroughly inspects, refurbishes and tests each system before sale.
At Agito Medical, every C-arm undergoes rigorous quality assurance. Our technicians perform comprehensive evaluations and replace worn components to ensure reliable performance. We provide full documentation of refurbishment processes and service history for all systems we supply.
Used Mobile C-Arms for Flexible Imaging
Mobile C-arms are particularly popular in the used medical equipment market. These portable systems move easily between operating rooms, emergency departments and outpatient facilities.
Key considerations for mobile C-arms include image resolution, dose management features and ease of positioning. More recent models feature advanced imaging technology that delivers superior image quality while reducing radiation exposure. Mobile C-arms are among our most requested used systems due to their flexibility across different hospital departments.
Key Considerations Before Purchasing
The intended procedures determine which features are most important. Orthopaedic surgery requires different specifications than cardiac procedures or pain management interventions.
Detector type, resolution and image processing capabilities all affect clinical outcomes. Modern flat-panel technology typically delivers superior performance compared to older image intensifier systems.
Selecting suppliers who provide warranty coverage and reliable access to replacement parts helps minimise downtime and protect your investment.
Verifying that systems meet current regulatory standards and include modern dose reduction technology protects both patients and staff.
Delivery, installation and operator training requirements vary between suppliers. Some include these services while others charge separately.
Understanding C-Arm Categories and Configurations
C-arms are available in several configurations to suit different clinical requirements:
Mini C-Arms are compact units ideal for extremity imaging in orthopaedic and podiatric practices. These systems offer an economical entry point while providing focused imaging capabilities for smaller anatomical areas.
Full-Size Mobile C-Arms provide broader capabilities with larger imaging fields and more powerful generators. These systems handle multiple procedure types from orthopaedics to general surgery across different departments.
Fixed/Surgical C-Arms are permanently mounted systems for dedicated operating rooms or interventional suites. These configurations deliver the highest image quality and most advanced features for complex procedures.
Modern Digital C-Arms with flat-panel detectors provide superior image quality and reduced radiation exposure. Earlier-generation systems with conventional detectors remain effective solutions for many clinical applications when properly refurbished.
Why Spare Parts Availability Matters
Many buyers underestimate the importance of parts availability when purchasing used equipment. Some older C-arm models are reaching end-of-life status, making replacement components scarce and expensive.
Before purchasing, verify that critical components like X-ray tubes, detectors and generators remain readily available. Your supplier should provide transparency about parts sourcing and typical replacement costs.
At Agito Medical, we maintain established relationships with medical equipment spare parts suppliers worldwide, ensuring ongoing support for all equipment we supply.
Consider Rental Before Buying
If you are uncertain about long-term requirements or interested in trialling different models, rental options may be worth considering. This approach works well for temporary capacity increases, seasonal demands or testing equipment before committing to a purchase.
Short-term rentals also provide practical solutions when existing equipment is down for repairs and immediate coverage is required.
Making the Right Decision
Selecting used imaging equipment requires finding the right balance between cost savings, quality and patient care outcomes. Working with a trusted supplier who thoroughly tests and verifies equipment is essential.
Review specifications thoroughly, enquire about refurbishment processes and understand what support is included after purchase. The lowest price does not always represent the best value if it comes with limited service or uncertain quality standards.
At Agito Medical, we guide you through these decisions to identify C-arm solutions that genuinely meet your clinical requirements. We are committed to delivering reliable imaging equipment that supports patient care while protecting your investment.
