Specialized Medical Equipment Shipping Services

Yes, you can ship medical devices, but they must be packaged, labeled, and handled according to regulatory and carrier guidelines. Even durable medical equipment, diagnostic devices, and other medical products require secure packaging to prevent damage and may need documentation for regulatory compliance with FDA, IATA, or DOT regulations.

To ship medical equipment safely, use custom packaging that fits the device securely, add cushioning materials, and follow any manufacturer instructions. For sensitive or temperature-dependent devices, thermal packaging or controlled transit may be required. Always choose a carrier experienced in medical supply transport and insure the shipment for full protection. At UNIVAL Logistics, we offer both expertise and insurance options to safeguard critical items.

Medical supplies are shipped by specialized logistics providers, major carriers, and distributors that offer medical supply transport solutions—such as UNIVAL Logistics. These companies have the training and infrastructure needed to handle regulated materials, sensitive medical equipment, and high-value healthcare products while ensuring compliance and safe delivery.
