Things to Consider When Renting

Sleeves: Check what size of leg sleeves you need (calf, thigh, foot) and whether they’re included or extra.

Rental Duration: have monthly & Quaterly plans.

Sanitization: Ensure the pump is cleaned / sanitized before delivery; worn cuffs can be an infection risk.

Setup & Training: Ask for a technician to help set up and teach how to use it correctly.

Power Backup: If you’re using it at home, check if the device supports battery backup (or plan for stable power) — some pumps have battery.

Doctor’s Prescription: Most places will ask for a doctor’s note / prescription to rent a DVT pump.

Return Process: Clarify how to return the machine and what the pickup / drop-off terms are.
