Can You Ship Medical Devices?

Yes, you can ship medical devices, but they must be packaged, labeled, and handled according to regulatory and carrier guidelines.

How to Ship Medical Equipment Safely?

To ship medical equipment safely, use custom packaging that fits the device securely, add cushioning materials, and follow any instructions from the manufacturer. For sensitive devices, temperature control may be required to maintain functionality during transit.
