Oliver Hunt  (CBHS Yr 13  - 2012)- The Christchurch engineering graduate taking on the medical device industry.  Oliver Hunt is a University of Canterbury engineering graduate who believes there is plenty of room for hospitals to improve while still keeping to the highest standards of safety. He started his company Medsalv as a way to reduce medical device waste. Medsalv takes single-use devices from hospitals, cleans them, checks that they still work, and gives them back for a lower price. “We keep doing that until we can’t do it any longer, at which point we break the devices down and recycle, if possible,” Hunt says.

Last year, while studying at UC’s Centre for Entrepreneurship, Hunt who is a UC Master of Engineering in Management graduate, won a $100,00 entrepreneurial award to develop Medsalv: https://www.canterbury.ac.nz/news/2018/uc-student-wins-100000-entrepreneurial-award.html
