Partner spotlight: Medsalv
Medsalv
For the sustainability and efficiency-minded doctors out there, Medsalv remanufactures single-use medical devices. They collect used devices from hospitals, then clean, inspect, test and remanufacture them so they safely return to clinical use, usually cheaper than the original. They work with roughly 170 hospitals across Australia and New Zealand. They're fully TGA-regulated and ARTG-registered, ISO 13485 certified, and the highest-scoring B Corp for medical devices in the world. For clinicians: real cost savings, far less clinical waste, and a more resilient local supply chain. Keen to see it in your hospital? Email oliver.hunt@medsalv.com.
