Visiting Southwest Florida?
We've Got Your Medical Equipment Covered.

Whether you're a snowbird spending the season, recovering after a hospital stay, or just visiting — Medical Department Store has been Southwest Florida's home medical equipment provider for over 30 years. We rent, sell, deliver, and repair. Six locations, on-call 24/7 delivery, and free delivery on most products throughout Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte, Lee, and Collier Counties.

On-Call 24/7 — Equipment Delivered to You

Need equipment at your rental, hotel, or home? We deliver. Call anytime.

🌴 Why Rent Instead of Bring It?

Shipping a hospital bed or power wheelchair to Florida costs hundreds of dollars and takes days — and you still have to ship it back. Thousands of Southwest Florida snowbirds, seasonal renters, and visitors rent directly from us instead:

  • Equipment ready when you arrive — delivered directly to your condo, rental, or home
  • No airline baggage hassles with wheelchairs, walkers, or concentrators
  • Return it when you leave — no packing, no shipping, no storage
  • On-call 24/7 if something needs replacing or isn't working right
  • Free delivery on most rental items throughout our five-county service area

🛏️ Equipment Available to Rent

We maintain a large rental inventory specifically for seasonal visitors and short-term needs. Most items can be delivered same day or next day within our service area.

🛏️
Hospital Beds
Full and semi-electric hospital beds, side rails, overbed tables. Perfect for post-surgery recovery or long-term care at a Florida home.

Portable Oxygen Concentrators

🚚 Fast Delivery — 5-County Area

We offer fast delivery on most rental and purchased products throughout Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte, Lee, and Collier Counties. We bring it to your condo, rental home, hotel, or residence — set it up, show you how it works, and pick it up when you're done.

🔧 Equipment Repair + Loaner Program

Did your equipment break down? We repair most makes and models — wheelchairs, scooters, concentrators, hospital beds, and more. In most cases, we can provide a loaner while your equipment is being repaired so you're never without what you need.
