Why buy rather than rent your vitrectomy recovery equipment?
Recovering from surgery such as vitrectomy requires specialized equipment to keep the face comfortably face down and ensure the patient’s recovery. The question many people ask is: should I buy or rent this recovery equipment? MassMe explains the advantages of buying versus renting, taking into account aspects such as hygiene, cost, comfort and health.
Hygiene: a crucial issue
When it comes to medical equipment used during recovery from surgery, hygiene is a top priority. The cleanliness of equipment can have a significant impact on avoiding complications to your health and recovery.
Products used many times
Rental products are used many times by different surgical patients. This means they can accumulate bacteria and other germs over time. Equipment that is not perfectly sterilized between users can pose a risk, especially to the eyes and sensitive nasal and oral mucous membranes of the face.
Risks associated with bacterial proliferation
Rental cushion foams are technically impossible to sterilize. The covers present a dangerous flaw at the seams of the 5 leatherette pieces, as these areas are not watertight and facilitate the growth of bacteria in the foam. This situation presents significant dangers for anyone using the equipment, potentially leading to infections.
New equipment: a guarantee of safety
Buying your convalescence equipment offers several significant advantages over renting. One of the most important is health safety.
No initial contamination
When you buy new equipment, you eliminate the risk of contamination by bacteria present in the multiple rental. A new product contains no bacterial residues from previous use, providing a healthier environment for the recovery of your newly operated eye.
Antibacterial and anti-allergic properties
Equipment such as MassMe comes with a bamboo textile cover, known for its anti-allergic and anti-bacterial properties. This machine-washable, removable cover ensures that your cushion cover remains clean and safe, minimizing health risks.

Comfort is a key factor in recovery from vitrectomy. The choice between purchase and rental must also take into account the convenience and flexibility offered by each option.
Prolonged and repeated use
The equipment you purchase can be used throughout your convalescence and beyond. For example, the MassMe cushion can be reused for future moments of relaxation (massage, relaxation, nap, etc.), turning your purchase into a versatile tool.

MassMe equipment is easy to use and doesn’t take up as much space as most rental equipment. It can be set up on any surface, including a bed, table or desk. MassMe is specially adapted for post-vitrectomy convalescence in both lying and sitting positions. Your spine is perfectly aligned, and the cushion has a wide opening to allow good ventilation for breathing, talking and looking, with or without glasses. To avoid facial perspiration on a non-breathable plastic leatherette cover, the MassMe cushion has a breathable bamboo textile cover.
