Great to see our team out and contributing to the industry! 👏

Junior and Emma recently attended the NZSSA Sterile Services Study Day, where they delivered a presentation on the ConTeg sterilisation container testing machine.

They highlighted the limitations of current container checks, including visual inspection and water testing, and demonstrated how the ConTeg machine works to provide a more reliable and consistent testing method.

It was a fantastic opportunity to share insights, connect with industry experts, and support ongoing learning within the sterile services community. We’re proud to have them representing and showcasing innovation in this space!✨

🔍 Rethinking pessary design in pelvic organ prolapse care

We’re revisiting our REIA case study with Dr Mike Stitely, Consultant Gynaecologist based in Invercargill, and his experience using the REIA pessary.

While traditional pessaries play an important role, they can present challenges in some cases — expulsion during activity, higher resting pressure, and reliance on clinician-led care.

What makes the REIA pessary different is its design:
✨ Collapsible for easier insertion and removal
✨ Expands under pressure to stay securely in place
✨ Enables patient self-management in many cases

The impact goes beyond convenience. Enabling more women to self-manage can help reduce repeat clinic visits, ease pressure on outpatient services, and in some cases, avoid surgery altogether—particularly for patients where surgical intervention carries higher risk.

🎥 Watch the video below to hear Dr Stitely’s perspective

As the exclusive New Zealand distributor of the REIA pessary, we’d love to connect—reach out to learn more or request a demo.

What a great few days at AGES Conference 2026 – Bridging the Gap in Auckland earlier this month 👏

Held at the recently built NZICC, the event brought together surgeons and registrars from across New Zealand and Australia — and it was fantastic to be part of it. 🌏

Amy, Michelle and Junior loved connecting with so many of you, having meaningful conversations, and gaining valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities in today’s surgical landscape.

These are the moments that really matter — building relationships, sharing knowledge, and staying connected to the people we support every day.✨

The standout products that drew the most attention were the Clearview Uterine Manipulators, Laparoscopic Needle Holders and our comprehensive Pessary Range. Visit our website to learn more about these products! https://ap1.hubs.ly/y0K37M0

🔥 One last big update to wrap up the week …

We’re excited to officially launch HEBU — a premium German instrumentation range, now available through Hallmark Surgical.

(If you spotted this in last week’s Hallmark Hub — you’re one step ahead 👇)

Made in Tuttlingen, Germany - the heart of surgical instrument manufacturing - HEBU combines traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation. Their advanced electro-polishing technology creates a smoother, more durable, corrosion-resistant finish — helping extend instrument life and performance.

But here’s where it really gets exciting 👇
HEBU holds thousands of instruments in stock, ready to go — meaning lead times can drop from 12–16 weeks to as little as 4 weeks.

That’s:
⚡ Faster turnaround
⚡ Fewer gaps in your instrument sets
⚡ Less disruption in theatre

If your team needs high-quality instruments — fast — HEBU delivers. Reach out for a quote today!

Revisiting a case study from Southern Cross Wellington… 🏥

In a fast-paced CSSD environment, where instrument volumes are high and case mix continues to grow, having efficient and reliable cleaning processes is essential to keeping workflows running smoothly. ⚙️

Geoff Wilshire and the team shared how the right tools can make a meaningful difference day-to-day. With frequent use of air and water guns in the dirty area, having control, comfort, and consistency is key — from regulating airflow to ensuring thorough cleaning without damaging delicate instruments.

A key advantage is the ability for our cleaning guns to be fully disassembled and sterilised, helping to eliminate any risk of cross-contamination and supporting the highest standards of infection prevention. 🧼

What stood out most was the impact on:
✔️ Ease of use during high-demand days
✔️ Improved maneuverability and flexibility
✔️ Greater confidence in achieving a high standard of cleanliness before washing

Ultimately, it’s about supporting CSSD teams with solutions that make their jobs easier — while maintaining the highest standards of instrument care and patient safety. 🤝

🔎 Do you prefer Gold Handles?

In surgical instrumentation, small design details often signal important functional differences.

A good example is the gold ring handles on a needle holder. They indicate the presence of tungsten carbide inserts at the working tip — a material chosen for its exceptional hardness and resistance to wear.

In practice, this means the instrument maintains a reliable grip on the needle even after repeated clamping, which is why tungsten carbide needle holders are often preferred in higher-volume environments.

Standard stainless steel needle holders remain a trusted option for general use, but tungsten carbide instruments offer additional durability. Also, the inserts can be replaced independently, extending the life of the instrument without needing to replace the entire piece.

🎥To learn more, take a look at Michelle comparing the differences!
