Recovering from surgery doesn’t always mean an extended hospital stay. In fact, more people than ever are choosing to recover at home - surrounded by loved ones, in a comfortable environment, and with the right medical equipment to support a safe and smooth healing process. At Rocky Mountain Medical Rentals, we work with families, caregivers, and medical professionals across the Denver metro area to provide high-quality, hospital-grade equipment for post-surgical recovery at home. Whether you're in Denver, Aurora, Centennial, Lakewood, Thornton, or Highlands Ranch, we can deliver and set up the tools you need to promote comfort, mobility, and peace of mind during recovery. Here’s a closer look at the most commonly rented medical equipment for home recovery - and why it makes a big difference.

1. Hospital Beds

One of the most important pieces of equipment for post-surgical care is a hospital bed. These adjustable beds allow patients to elevate their head or legs to reduce swelling, improve circulation, and increase comfort. For those recovering from orthopedic, abdominal, or cardiac procedures, hospital beds reduce strain when getting in and out of bed and help caregivers assist with ease. In homes throughout Littleton and Englewood, we’ve seen how an electric hospital bed can turn a bedroom or living room into a safe, comfortable recovery space.

2. Mobility Aids (Crutches, Walkers, Wheelchairs)

Many surgeries - especially joint replacements, foot procedures, or spine surgeries - require limited weight-bearing activity. That’s where mobility aids like crutches, walkers, knee scooters, and wheelchairs become essential.Choosing the right mobility device depends on your condition, strength, and doctor's recommendations. We provide clean, well-maintained equipment suited to your needs and even offer padded models for extra comfort during long-term use.

3. Recliner Lift Chairs

Recovering from surgery often means spending long hours resting, but not always in bed. Lift chairs offer a safe and supportive place to rest during the day. These recliners gently help you into a standing position and are ideal for individuals with limited mobility or those recovering from shoulder, back, or abdominal surgery.They're particularly popular with patients in Golden and Westminster, where many homes have cozy living rooms but no space for a hospital bed.

4. Oxygen Concentrators and Nebulizers

If you’ve had thoracic or cardiac surgery - or if you have preexisting respiratory conditions - your doctor may prescribe supplemental oxygen or breathing treatments to support healing. We provide oxygen concentrators, portable oxygen tanks, and nebulizer machines to help keep your lungs functioning at their best during recovery.We know the elevation in Denver and nearby areas like Boulder and Castle Rock can complicate breathing for some, so we ensure our equipment is adjusted and tested to deliver exactly what your care plan requires.

5. Commodes and Bathroom Safety Equipment

Falls are a leading cause of post-surgical injury. Installing bedside commodes, shower chairs, raised toilet seats, and grab bars helps patients move more confidently and avoid unnecessary trips to the bathroom - especially at night.Our team can recommend and deliver the best solutions based on your home layout and the patient's mobility level.

Why Rent Instead of Buy?

Surgery recovery is temporary, and many families don’t want to invest in expensive equipment that will only be used for a few weeks or months. Renting allows you to get exactly what you need—quickly, affordably, and with professional support. At Rocky Mountain Medical Rentals, we offer flexible rental periods, prompt delivery across the Denver metro area, and 24/7 phone support in case you have questions about how to use your equipment. Every item is thoroughly sanitized and tested before delivery to ensure safety and reliability.
