Why Rent Instead of Buy?
Below are the primary advantages of renting as opposed to buying outright:
Cost effectiveness: For temporary use, renting is way cheaper compared to buying.
Flexibility: Rent by the week or month and replenish as desired.
No maintenance worries: We sanitize, clean, and inspect all equipment.
Try before you buy: Renting enables you to experiment with several models before purchase.

Choosing the Right Device: Tips & Considerations
Some useful hints to select the correct rental equipment for your requirements:
1. Have the equipment fit your requirements
If you require only assistance within your dwelling, a rollator or a walker might suffice.
For longer outside distances, or if mobility is more limited, consider a mobility scooter or electric wheelchair.
When weight must be avoided bearing on a lower leg or foot, a knee walker will generally beat crutches for convenience.
2. Weight capacity & stability
Check the maximum load capacity of each device. Don’t overload it.
For hilly terrain, choose devices with good traction and motor strength.
3. Size & portability
If you’ll transport the equipment (e.g. in a vehicle), look for foldable or lighter models.
4. Safety features
Look for brakes, stable frames, leg rests, arm supports, and seat belts (if applicable).
5. Sanitation & condition
We take care to have all our rentals professionally cleaned, sanitized, and checked before use.
6. Test before you buy
Whenever feasible, get to try out the device in our store or at home to test fit and comfort.
Use Cases & Customer Scenarios
Having real use cases in mind provides a better idea of how our rentals excel:
Post-operative recovery
Consider a patient who has had knee surgery. The orthopedist wants to move around, but weight bearing should be avoided. A knee walker provides ambulation with minimal stress to the surgery site. In addition, a pair of crutches might provide support on stairs.
emporary mobility because of injury
If a person sprains an ankle or fractures a foot, they can be assisted for many weeks. Renting a rollator or walker ensures that there is balance within the home. For grocery runs or going out, a mobility scooter provides independence once more.
Extended stay visitors
A Vancouver guest (e.g. patient's relative) may not have their own mobility aids but may rent wheelchair or transport chair. Instead of purchasing, Yaletown Medical Supplies' rental is a cost-effective and convenient alternative.
Use in temporary home or assisted living
Not infrequently, owning permanently is not the best solution. Rental allows you to gear down (e.g. walker to wheelchair) as requirements shift without waste.
