🌍 3 of the 235,000+ attendees at the World Health Expo (WHX) in Dubai were from the Hallmark Surgical team.

Junior, Lucy & Amy were on the ground at one of the world’s largest healthcare events, proudly representing New Zealand 🇳🇿 and focusing on what matters most to us — strengthening relationships with our trusted supplier partners 🤝 and identifying best-in-class products we can bring back to the NZ market.

With 180+ countries represented, WHX is a powerful reminder that healthcare innovation is truly global. We spent time reconnecting face-to-face with valued partners including , , and — aligning on innovation, exploring new opportunities, and ensuring we continue delivering high-quality solutions to clinicians and patients across New Zealand.

We were also actively looking for the next generation of surgical technologies to add to our growing portfolio 🏥. New Zealand may be small in size — but not in healthcare ambition or innovation. Our clinicians deserve access to world-class solutions, and we’re committed to making that happen.

From global conversations to local impact — we’re proud of the partnerships we’ve built and excited about what’s ahead 🔎✨.

🔎 Product Spotlight: Disposable Laparoscopic Spatula Electrode

Versatility in theatre matters. Our laparoscopic spatula electrode is designed to give surgeons greater efficiency and control during procedures.

The spatula tip allows it to function as both a retractor and a cautery tool simultaneously — enabling gentle tissue elevation and precise coagulation without the need to switch instruments. Fewer instrument changes means smoother workflow and improved procedural flow.

Designed with performance and comfort in mind:
✔️ Ergonomic moulded handle for a secure, comfortable grip
✔️ Reduced hand fatigue during longer cases
✔️ One-piece stainless steel shaft for exceptional heat transfer
✔️ Reliable, consistent performance surgeons can trust

Confidence, control, and efficiency — all in one instrument.

In this month’s Hub, you’ll also find:

💥Something exceptional is coming! 💥

We’re about to launch a new reusable instrument partner — engineered in Germany and finished with full electropolishing to deliver next-level durability.

Electropolishing dissolves a very thin outer layer of metal, eliminating microscopic burrs, peaks, and crevices. The result? A microsmooth surface with significantly improved resistance to corrosion and rust, built to perform reliably case after case.

Even better, with thousands of instruments held in stock at the German factory, lead times can be dramatically reduced across many reusable instrument lines — helping you get what you need, sooner.

✨Precision you can feel.
✨Quality you can trust.
✨Designed for longevity.
✨Fast delivery times.
