Medical equipment at home is needed when a patient is discharged from hospital but still requires clinical-grade support during recovery. The right equipment depends entirely on the patient’s condition — a post-surgery patient needs a hospital bed and wheelchair, a COPD patient needs an oxygen concentrator or BiPAP, and a critical care patient at home may need a full ICU setup. Renting is almost always the smarter choice for short-to-medium recovery — it is cost-effective, maintenance-free, and available with same-day delivery.
What Is Medical Equipment on Rent — And Why Does It Matter at Home?
When a loved one comes home after surgery, a stroke, a respiratory illness, or any critical condition, the hospital care ends but the medical need does not. Families are often left with one urgent question: what equipment does my patient actually need at home, and where do I get it?
Medical equipment on rent bridges this gap. It provides hospital-grade support — beds, mobility aids, oxygen therapy, breathing machines, ICU monitors — right inside the patient’s home, without the burden of purchasing expensive devices that may only be needed for weeks or months.
Zorgers has been providing medical equipment on rent across Delhi, Gurugram, Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula, Ludhiana, Jalandhar, and Noida since 2013. Equipment is sanitized, delivered, installed, and maintained by a trained team — with same-day or next-day delivery available.

A mobility aid for patients who cannot walk independently. Available in standard manual, recliner, commode, and motorized/electric variants.
Which patients need it:
-
- Post-fracture or post-surgery patients during recovery — knee replacement, hip replacement

| Neo Bolt Electric Scooter | Patients wanting independent outdoor mobility |
3. Oxygen Concentrator on Rent
What it is:
A device that continuously draws room air, filters out nitrogen, and delivers concentrated medical-grade oxygen through a nasal cannula or mask. Unlike a cylinder, it does not run out — it works as long as electricity is available.
Which patients need it:
-
- COPD patients requiring continuous long-term oxygen therapy
-
- Post-COVID or pneumonia patients with low SpO2 during recovery
-
- Patients with chronic respiratory failure or interstitial lung disease
-
- Elderly patients with heart failure and low blood oxygen
- Post-ICU step-down patients on supplemental oxygen at home
Key features:
-
- Flow rate: Standard up to 5 LPM; high-flow models up to 10 LPM
-
- Oxygen purity: 93% ± 3%
-
- Noise level: Under 48 dB for comfortable home use
- Brands: Philips, Nidek, Devilbiss, Medyoxy
Oxygen Concentrator vs Oxygen Cylinder:
| Factor | Oxygen Concentrator | Oxygen Cylinder |
|---|---|---|
| Oxygen supply | Continuous, unlimited | Fixed — runs out |
| Power required | Yes | No |
| Best for | Long-term home therapy | Short-term, backup, travel |
| Cost over time | Lower | Higher (refilling cost) |
Important: Always keep a backup oxygen cylinder if the patient needs more than 10 LPM or power cuts are frequent in your area.

4. Oxygen Cylinder on Rent
What it is:
A pressurized cylinder containing compressed medical oxygen, delivered through a regulator and mask or nasal cannula.
Which patients need it:
-
- Patients needing backup oxygen when the concentrator is under maintenance
-
- High-flow oxygen requirements beyond concentrator capacity
-
- Patients being transported in a vehicle or ambulance
- Short-term acute oxygen therapy — post-procedure, emergency situations
Important: For patients on continuous oxygen therapy, always use a concentrator as the primary device and keep an oxygen cylinder as backup. Cylinders require periodic refilling.

5. BiPAP / CPAP Machine on Rent
What it is:
Non-invasive breathing support machines that deliver pressurized air to keep the airway open — without requiring intubation or a ventilator.
-
- CPAP — Single continuous pressure. First-line treatment for obstructive sleep apnea.
- BiPAP — Two pressure levels (higher on inhale, lower on exhale). Used for more complex respiratory and neurological conditions.
Which patients need which:
| Machine | Patient Condition |
|---|---|
| CPAP | Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) — confirmed by sleep study |
| BiPAP | COPD with CO2 retention (hypercapnia) |
| BiPAP | Acute or chronic respiratory failure |
| BiPAP | Post-extubation support at home after ICU discharge |
| BiPAP | Neuromuscular diseases affecting breathing — ALS, GBS, muscular dystrophy |
| BiPAP | Patients who cannot tolerate CPAP pressure |
Key features to check:
-
- Humidifier attachment — prevents airway dryness
-
- Mask compatibility — nasal mask, full face mask, nasal pillow
-
- Auto-titrating vs fixed pressure model
- Data recording capability for doctor follow-up
Always use the pressure settings prescribed by your pulmonologist. Do not self-adjust at home.

-
- Post-ICU patients transitioning home with monitoring needs
-
- Patients on long-term tracheostomy care
-
- Cancer patients in advanced stages needing managed pain and nutrition support

Multi-Parameter Monitor / Cardiac Monitor — Tracks SpO2, heart rate, blood pressure, ECG, respiratory rate, and temperature on one screen.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q.1 Which medical equipment is needed after hospital discharge?
It depends on the reason for hospitalization. Post-surgery patients typically need a hospital bed and wheelchair. Respiratory patients need an oxygen concentrator or BiPAP. Neurological or stroke patients may need a combination of bed, wheelchair, suction machine, and patient monitor. A Zorgers equipment expert can recommend the right combination based on the patient’s discharge summary.
Q.2 Can a patient use an oxygen concentrator at home without a doctor's prescription?
A doctor’s prescription is strongly recommended before starting oxygen therapy at home. The flow rate in litres per minute must be prescribed based on the patient’s SpO2 levels and underlying condition. Using the wrong flow rate can be harmful. Zorgers’ equipment team can also guide you toward the right specialist if needed.
Q.3 How many types of patient beds are available on rent?
Zorgers offers four main types — Manual Semi Fowler Bed, Manual Full Fowler Bed, Two-Function Motorized Bed, and Three-Function Motorized ICU Bed. The right type depends on how mobile the patient is and the level of caregiver support at home.
Q.4 Is medical equipment on rent available in Chandigarh, Delhi, and Gurugram?
Yes. Zorgers provides medical equipment on rent across Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula, Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, Ludhiana, and Jalandhar — with same-day or next-day delivery, free installation, and a full demo at home.
Q.4 Do I need a prescription to rent a wheelchair?
No prescription is required to rent a wheelchair. However, for patients with specific neurological or orthopedic conditions, it is advisable to consult your doctor or physiotherapist about which type — manual, recliner, or electric — is most appropriate.
Q.5 What is the difference between BiPAP and oxygen concentrator?
An oxygen concentrator increases the oxygen concentration in the air the patient breathes — it does not support the breathing effort itself. A BiPAP machine actively supports the breathing effort by delivering pressurized air. Many COPD or respiratory failure patients need both devices simultaneously — oxygen for saturation support and BiPAP for breathing assistance.
Q.6 Is there a security deposit for renting medical equipment?
There is no monetary security deposit. In some cases, a duly signed security cheque is taken as a formality, which is returned in full when the equipment is returned in the promised condition.
