Healthcare engineering and facilities teams are under increasing pressure to reduce waste, control operating costs, and strengthen supply chain resilience - without compromising patient safety, infection prevention standards, or regulatory compliance.
This Lunch + Learn session reframes medical device remanufacturing through an engineering and risk-management lens.
Oliver Hunt, Founder and CEO of Medsalv, will present how TGA-regulated remanufactured single-use medical devices are being safely used across hospital systems in Australia and New Zealand - delivering measurable financial savings, reduced waste streams, and strengthened sovereign supply chains.

Medsalv partners with more than 160 hospitals and operates under ISO 13485-certified quality systems, with devices listed on the ARTG and regulated as manufacturing activities under Australian law. As a Blake Leader and head of the highest-scoring B-Corp globally in the medical device sector, Oliver brings both strategic insight and hands-on operational experience from live hospital environments.
Drawing on real implementation case studies, this session will explore:
• How remanufacturing aligns with existing regulatory frameworks and Essential Principles
• Engineering controls, validation processes, and infection prevention safeguards
• Quantifiable environmental and financial performance outcomes
• Operational integration within existing procurement and facilities systems
• Practical risk mitigation strategies for engineering and facilities teams
This is not theory. It is a compliant, regulated manufacturing pathway already embedded in major hospital networks, with facilities active in both New Zealand and Australia.
Delivered through an engineering and governance lens, this session is designed for healthcare engineers, clinical engineering teams, facilities managers, sustainability leads, and capital works teams seeking practical, defensible pathways to reduce waste, improve cost performance, and enhance system resilience.
Join us to examine how circular economy principles can be applied in healthcare - safely, rigorously, and within existing regulatory guardrails.
