About Surgical Innovations Group plc

The Group specializes in the design, manufacture, sale, and distribution of innovative, high-quality medical products, primarily for use in minimally invasive surgery. Our product and business development are guided and supported by a key group of nationally and internationally renowned surgeons across the minimally invasive surgical activity spectrum.

We design and manufacture and source our branded port access systems, surgical instruments, and retraction devices which are sold directly in the UK home market through our subsidiary, Elemental Healthcare, and exported widely through a global network of trusted distribution partners. Many of our products in this field are based on a “responsible” concept, in which the products are part reusable, part disposable, offering a high quality and environmentally responsible solution at a cost that is competitive against fully disposable alternatives.

Elemental also has exclusive UK distribution for a select group of specialist products employed in laparoscopy, bariatric and metabolic surgery, hernia repair, and breast reconstruction.

In addition, we design and develop medical devices for carefully selected OEM partners and have collaborated with a major UK industrial partner to provide precision engineering solutions to complex problems outside the medical arena.

We aim for our brands to be recognized and respected by healthcare professionals in all major geographical markets in which we operate and provide by development, partnership, or acquisition a broad portfolio of cost-effective, procedure-specific surgical instruments and implantable devices that offer reliable solutions to genuine clinical needs in the operating theatre environment.
