THE LYNTON LASERS RENTAL SERVICE
Lynton have operated a laser rental and/or laser hire service to customers in NHS and Private Hospitals (as well as private salons and clinics) since the company was founded in 1994 – that makes us the largest supplier of rental laser (and other light-based) systems in the UK.
Renting or hiring our laser or light-based systems allows surgeons to treat their patients in their own NHS or Private hospital departments whenever is convenient to themselves and their hospital managers without high initial set up costs or the need to go through extensive capital equipment procurement processes.
A further advantage of renting a laser from Lynton is that it affords the surgeon and his or her staff the opportunity to fully familiarise themselves with a particular system before taking up the option to purchase the system, should that be the preferred procurement route of the hospital in question.
Another advantage not to be overlooked is that the rental option allows the NHS or Private Hospital to ensure that their laser equipment is always state-of-the-art without the need for repeated capital equipment purchases, thereby providing their patients with the best possible treatment modalities at all times.
The Lynton Laser Rental Service can provide you with the laser you need for:
- Thoracic Surgery Applications (e.g. treatment of lung metastases).
- Endobronchial Surgery Applications (e.g. provision of an airways management service).
- Vascular Surgery Applications (e.g. Envovenous Laser Therapy - ELT).
- ENT Applications.
- Gynaecological Applications.
- Dermatology & Plastic Surgery Applications.
- General Surgery Applications (e.g. cutting, resecting, coagulating, etc.)

THE HOSPITAL NEEDS TO PROVIDE

In certain cases the hospital may also be required to put in place local administrative systems, such as the appointment or provision of a Laser Safety Officer.

Lasers can be rented on a sessional (daily or weekly) basis - or why not take advantage of Lynton's unique 12 month rental option, where the laser remains permanently on site. The 12 month rental agreement also includes options to purchase, including a rental refund. Bespoke rental packages are available on request.
