What Medisure does
Medisure is a family-owned technical services business founded in 1996 and headquartered in Adelaide, South Australia, that sells, services, validates and repairs sterilisation equipment for the medical, dental and adjacent healthcare industries. The company supplies the full MELAG range of autoclaves (S Class and B Class units from 17L to 200L capacity) and MELAtherm washer/disinfectors, and holds factory-accredited service agent status with seven manufacturers: MELAG, Hatmed, Systec, Midmark, Cominox, Mocom and Tuttnauer. Its service offering includes annual calibration, validation to Australian Standard AS5369 (vacuum tests, Helix/Bowie Dick tests, biological spore testing, calibration checks), breakdown repairs with same-day or 24-hour response targets, free phone troubleshooting, and a loan autoclave program that provides temporary replacement units during repairs or for try-before-buy hire.
The business operates on a hybrid revenue model: one-time hardware sales of MELAG-branded sterilisation equipment, recurring annual service and validation contracts, on-demand professional service for repairs and emergency callouts, and managed-service-style hire/loan of equipment. Pricing is largely opaque (price-on-application for hardware and service), consistent with a relationship-driven sales motion rather than transactional e-commerce. Customer acquisition runs through direct field sales by qualified technicians, phone, and a website contact form, with no active social media or content marketing presence; the firm relies on 25+ years of regional reputation. Customer segments are diverse within healthcare, spanning general medical/GP practices, dental, podiatry, specialist, day surgery, beauty/tattoo, veterinary and laboratory, all within South Australia. Medisure has not raised external funding, has no disclosed subsidiaries, and continues to operate under private family ownership with field-based technical staff covering the single state.

Medisure competitors and assessment
Company assessmentEmerging players
- Ecolab Healthcare: Global infection prevention and healthcare hygiene company that increasingly bundles equipment, chemistry, and digital monitoring services into hospital sterilization workflows. Adjacent competitor with growing overlap to Medisure's compliance-driven value proposition.
Broad incumbents
- Midmark Corporation: US-based manufacturer of medical and dental equipment including autoclaves. Medisure is an accredited service agent for Midmark, but Midmark also distributes directly and through other national partners, partially overlapping with Medisure's go-to-market.
- Tuttnauer: Israel/Europe-based autoclave and sterilization equipment manufacturer whose products Medisure services as an accredited agent. Tuttnauer also sells and services directly in many markets, making it both a partner and competitor.
- MELAG Medizintechnik GmbH & Co. KG: German manufacturer of the autoclave and washer-disinfector lines that anchor Medisure's portfolio. MELAG is both a principal supplier and an indirect competitor as customers can in principle buy direct or via larger distributors.
