OEC 9600
Remanufacturing Process
Huestis Medical remanufactured OEC 9600 C-arms offer excellent imaging results at
a remarkable price. Even more remarkable is our ability to deliver performance and
safety features guaranteed to meet or exceed original manufacturer’s specification.
Thoroughly remanufactured, our OEC 9600 C-arms are offered with new and upgraded
imaging components. We disassemble, mechanically restore, refinish, calibrate and
pre-stage each C-arm prior to delivery.
