Company values
On a mission to achieve a high level of customer satisfaction at all times.
Helica Instruments was formed specifically to produce the Helica TC. Working together with the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, the technical aspects of the instrument were overcome and our solution, the Helica Thermal Coagulator, was put to the test by medical authorities and specialists alike. The name Helica is an abbreviation of Helium - Ion - Coagulation and specifically refers to the Helica TC, an electro-surgical device commonly known as the Helica which in effect is a helium thermal coagulator.
Helica Instruments Ltd are constantly researching and developing the Helica TC unit and probes allowing them to be used in a variety of surgical procedures. With the help of consultant gynaecologists who have assisted us in our trials, we manufacture open surgery cutting probes and laparoscopic cutting and coagulating probes. These are now used in several different operating procedures including, but not limited to, the removal of fibroids (myomectomy), ovarian drilling, and the division of adhesions. The innovative thinking and hard work was rewarded by a John Logie Baird award for innovation.

Our Story
Pioneers of helium plasma surgical technology.
Welcome to Helica Instruments. We are the inventors and manufacturers of the Helica TC, an electro-surgical device commonly known as the Helica, which in effect is a Helium Thermal Coagulator.
The key purpose of the Helica Thermal Coagulator (TC) is to overcome the problems associated with electro-surgical devices in laparoscopic surgery. When compared to other treatments such as diathermy and laser, the Helica TC treatment is highly accurate and safe to use on all affected areas, including vital organs such as the bowel and the bladder.

Our commitment
Smarter manufacturing. Better outcomes. A smaller footprint.
Sustainability for us means making practical improvements, reducing waste, tightening processes, and designing with longevity in mind without compromising safety or performance.
We're reducing waste across our supply chain, improving packaging efficiency, and tightening process controls to minimise scrap and rework.
We prioritise reliability and maintainability, extending product life and supporting hospitals with dependable performance over time.
As we develop new probes and accessories, we apply design-for-manufacture principles and continuously review materials and suppliers.
Product use should always follow the applicable instructions for use (IFU) and clinical guidance.
