Medcom has many different styles of CPMs.  This is only a few of the many units we stock.  As we have been in business since 1988, we have acquired almost every brand, style and type of CPM ever made.  As new machines have been introduced, we would sell machines that no longer were appropriate for our patient use and kept those machines, no matter how old, that were able to fill a rehabilitation niche' because they had a unique motion, or were able to be rented at a lower rate as they had been discontinued. 

Medcom has machines in stock from: Danninger, Toronto Medical, Sutter, Invacare, Stryker, Breg, Artromot, Smith & Nephew, Jace, Kinetec, Chattanooga, and more.
