Equine 9 months, 3 weeks ago
Hi all, Does anyone have any recommendations for gastroscopes. We bought a Medequus scope 2.5 years ago with the assurance it would last for ever 10-15 years. Just been faced with it’s second 10k+ repair bill and having heard similar stories from other practices decided it’s not fit for purpose. Any recommendations or anyone else looking to…[Read more]
Hi Kate, thanks for posting, I’ve contacted a couple of our Equine members, hoping to get some feedback for you early next week. Have a lovely weekend. Sarah
Thanks Sarah! I’ve also been given an name for an independent scope repair man who was recommended, so if he’s any good I’ll let everyone know as well!
Hi Kate, any feedback gratefully received. I received a couple of responses and general consensus was due to the way the scope is put together 2 x 1.5m, there’s always a weak area in the middle so you need to budget for regular (costly) repairs. Same experience despite using/trying scopes from various suppliers so wouldn’t recommend one over another.
