Become Equipment Partner in Sardinia

Partner with MediGear in Sardinia

Sardinia is an island with a mainland-sized geography, so a medical equipment partner here plans ferries and long inland drives together. The Duilio Casula polyclinic at Monserrato and the Brotzu hospital serve Cagliari, the Sassari university trust covers the north, the Microcitemico institute leads on inherited blood disorders, and Nuoro and Olbia sit hours from either city.

MediGear is a UK-registered medical equipment distributor and B2B marketplace working with verified manufacturers and healthcare buyers in more than 80 countries. Its partner program opens that catalogue to businesses in Sardinia selling into the Duilio Casula polyclinic at Monserrato, the Brotzu hospital in Cagliari, the Sassari university trust, the Microcitemico institute, the Nuoro and Olbia hospitals, accredited private clinics and diagnostic laboratories.

Partnership Opportunities for Businesses in Sardinia

Three program tracks are open to businesses in Sardinia. Different business models, the same catalogue behind them — the right one depends on how much of the transaction you want to own.

Become a MediGear Sales Agent

Agents introduce qualified hospitals, clinics, distributors and procurement teams to MediGear. The role focuses on generating opportunities and connecting buyers with the team; MediGear handles quotations, supply, documentation and fulfilment. Earnings are commission-based on confirmed sales; no purchasing or inventory is required, and MediGear provides sales materials and product support. It suits representatives who will hold stock on the island rather than shipping each order across, because a missing part otherwise means a week of waiting rather than a day. Dialysis centres across the island reorder consumables continuously each month. Care homes across the island order mobility equipment steadily. Rehabilitation units across the island order therapy equipment steadily.

Become an Authorised MediGear Distributor

Distributors represent MediGear in an agreed country, region or territory and actively develop the local market — Sardinia alone, the island with a mainland region, or a category covered nationally. Products are purchased at distributor level for onward supply, and territorial rights may be exclusive or non-exclusive. Market development, commercial support, and regulatory and import coordination are included.

Become a MediGear Reseller

Resellers purchase at wholesale and resell independently through an existing medical business, online store, sales network or customer base. Order quantities are flexible, and you sell on your own terms to your own customers. Resellers operate independently without territorial or official distribution rights, so there is no territorial commitment and no market development obligation.

Who Can Become a MediGear Partner in Sardinia?

The program is open to companies entered in the Italian business register with a genuine route to healthcare buyers. Applications commonly come from:

• Equipment distributors and importers already supplying public and private hospitals

• Independent sales agents with contacts in theatre, imaging, pathology or dental

• Online medical supply stores and e-commerce operators

• Biomedical engineering firms adding equipment sales to service contracts

• Practice fit-out, day surgery and healthcare project companies

• Dental, laboratory and rehabilitation equipment resellers

Regional knowledge beats national scale. Cagliari sets the reference the smaller hospitals follow. The Microcitemico institute specifies closely within its speciality, and the Nuoro and Olbia hospitals value a supplier who makes the drive inland. Oristano and Carbonia order through the regional framework, and Cagliari buys imaging equipment in scheduled rounds. The Olbia hospital orders consumables on a scheduled cycle. The Nuoro hospital requisitions consumables on a scheduled cycle.

What You Get as a MediGear Partner

Competitive margins. Partner-level commercial terms apply across the catalogue, with performance recognised for partners who hit agreed targets.

Full product catalogue. Certified equipment across diagnostics, surgical and therapeutic, lab and pathology, sterilisation, hospital furniture, dental, ENT and ophthalmic, rehabilitation, orthopaedic, cardiology, gastroenterology, neonatal, dermatology, veterinary and spare parts.

Sourcing and quotation support. Send an enquiry and the team sources the product, negotiates with the manufacturer and returns a documented quotation — including items outside the current catalogue.

Direct partnerships team. Order queries, supplier negotiations, logistics coordination, and after-sales issues go straight to the team by email, so you can focus on selling rather than chasing suppliers.

Marketing support. Co-branded brochures, digital assets, product imagery and joint campaigns you can put in front of buyers in Sardinia.

Regulatory support. Country-specific import guidance, certification documentation and connections to local regulatory consultants for market entry questions.

Medical Equipment Supply and Regulation in Sardinia

Medical devices sold anywhere in the European Union fall under Regulation (EU) 2017/745, which fixes classification, conformity assessment and post-market duties before any supply arrangement begins. The competent authority is the health ministry directorate responsible for medical devices, which runs market surveillance, vigilance and the national device database; departmental information is published by the Ministry of Health.

Italy has operated its own national device database and required devices supplied in the country to be entered in it, alongside European obligations. Italian-language labelling and instructions are expected, and the wider structure is set out in the EU medical devices framework.

Customs entry for goods from outside the Union is administered by the Customs and Monopolies Agency under Union Customs Code procedures. MediGear is not the economic operator of record for partner products and does not give regulatory advice.

Why Businesses in Sardinia Work with MediGear

Regional coverage is the first advantage. A partner able to run twenty different processes in parallel reaches far more of the market than one selling into a single region. One regional health service purchases for the island, so a single framework covers its public hospitals. One register covers the island, and each hospital keeps a call-off file. The island framework publishes its calendar each year. Records sit with the trust that placed the order.

Second is catalogue depth. Accredited private clinics fitting out a new site want the entire room quoted at once.

Port choice is the third. Ferries run from Civitavecchia, Genoa and Livorno, and the three airports take air freight. Island stock is the difference between same-week and same-month service. Cagliari holds the island stock, and Sassari is three hours north. Olbia takes the northern ferries, and Cagliari the southern ones.
