Something quietly transformative is happening in Claregalway — the rise of Salt Medical Ireland, a company that is not only manufacturing world-class medical devices but also redefining what it means to grow with purpose.
Officially opened in April, Salt Medical’s state-of-the-art facility, complete with an ISO Class 8 cleanroom, stands as a symbol of the west of Ireland’s growing role in global MedTech innovation. Specialising in minimally invasive technologies — including catheters, guidewires, endoscopes, and surgical robotics — the company offers full support from design and prototyping through to manufacturing and quality assurance.
But beyond the technology lies a deeper story: one of opportunity, talent, and community.
Salt Medical isn’t just creating devices — it’s creating careers. With open roles in Quality Assurance, Engineering, Sales, and Administration, the company is actively inviting local talent to be part of its journey. Current vacancies include: Personal Assistant /Administrator, Sales Manager, Director of Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs, and Document Controller. The team is growing, and with it, so too is a culture built on collaboration, wellbeing, and continuous learning.
Managing Director, Dr Yuqi Shaughnessy, has been clear in her vision, stating, “We are here to build more than a business. We are here to build partnerships, careers, and a long-term contribution to the region.”
That vision is already taking shape, with community outreach, student engagement, and strategic partnerships forming a strong foundation.
Salt Medical is also extending a warm invitation to innovators, engineers, entrepreneurs, and professionals, whether you are developing a new device or looking to join a forward-thinking team. You are welcome to tour the Claregalway facility, meet the expert team, and see firsthand how ideas become real-world solutions.
In an era where healthcare technology is advancing rapidly, it’s encouraging to see that the west of Ireland is not just keeping up — it is leading the way. Salt Medical is proof that global innovation and local values can thrive together.
