Medical Equipment Investment
Orthopaedic, surgical and diagnostic equipment portfolios for healthcare operators.
We invest in orthopaedic, surgical and diagnostic equipment, lease it to the operators whose work depends on it, and manage it for uptime.
What we hold
Our equipment portfolios concentrate on the assets behind orthopaedic and surgical practice:
- Arthroscopy and surgical tower systems — camera, light, insufflation, energy and display.
- Surgical support equipment — operating tables, surgical lighting, patient monitoring and diathermy.
- Diagnostic imaging — plain X-ray and ultrasound for clinic and day-surgery environments.
We hold what we can service to a defined standard. A machine without a service pathway is not acquired.
The lifecycle
We manage each stage of the equipment lifecycle.
Specification and selection
Specification begins with the operator's clinical day: procedure mix, list volume, room constraints, staffing and workflow.
Procurement and compliance
Procurement runs to the regulatory standard the asset must meet, with documentation, warranty terms and installation requirements understood before orders are placed. Long-lead clinical items are ordered early, and installation is coordinated with the building program.
Installation, commissioning and training
An asset is delivered when it is installed, calibrated, acceptance-tested and the operator's team is trained. Commissioning is in the program before handover.
Service and uptime
Every asset enters one service framework: a preventive maintenance schedule, defined response times and a single number the operator calls. Service visits are planned around theatre lists.
End-of-term pathways
At acquisition we know the asset's service life and its planned exit: upgrade, replacement or return. Replacement funding is part of the ownership economics from day one.
Ownership and leasing structures
We structure equipment programs so the operator's payments reflect use. Terms are written in plain language: what is included, response times, servicing and end-of-term.
Equipment held with us keeps capital in the practice. The machines sit with an owner whose business is keeping them running.
Why the combined view matters
Equipment investment and property investment are considered together. Our equipment programs are specified with the room in mind, and our buildings are designed with the equipment in them.
Questions practices ask us
Should we own our equipment outright, or lease it?
It depends on what the capital would otherwise do. Where a practice has better uses for its money, leasing keeps clinical capability intact with service and replacement funded by the owner.
What happens when something fails during a list?
You call one number. Response is defined by category in advance, and the escalation path is owned by us.
What happens at the end of the term?
End-of-term is agreed at the beginning: the asset's service life and its options — upgrade, replacement or return.
Weighing an equipment decision?
Tell us what your practice runs on
A short description of the equipment and the procedures it supports is all we need to indicate a structure and a service standard.
What practices say
The towers were specified around our procedures, not around a catalogue. Six months in, we have not lost a list to equipment.
