So close yet so far.

Surgical Holdings is located just 363 miles from Düsseldorf, Germany, but the British manufacturer has never attended one of the world’s largest medical trade fairs until this year.

Making its debut at Medica (Nov. 17-20) as part of the Stille Group, Surgical Holdings is leveraging the event’s global platform to reconnect with existing partners, explore new opportunities, and showcase the next stage of its worldwide growth.

Surgical Holdings’ attendance at Medica marks a new chapter for the family-run business, which offers customers premium-quality manufacturing, specialist repair services, and a solid commitment to sustainability. Affiliated with Stille AB—a Swedish surgical instrumentation specialist founded in 1841—Surgical Holdings benefits from Stille’s shared expertise, craftsmanship, and unified focus on instrument quality, precision, and longevity.

At Medica, Surgical Holdings is focusing on strengthening its global network and connecting with new dealers and distributors, particularly those with an orthopedic or service focus. The company’s export portfolio includes: 

• Sterile Kirschner Wires (orthopedic implants)
• Repair of orthopedic-focused rigid endoscopes, such as arthroscopes
• Orthopedic battery handpiece repair
• Orthopedic instrumentation support 

Surgical Holdings’ approach aims to help hospitals extend instrument life, reduce waste, and achieve sustainability goals by offering specialist repairs for rigid endoscopes and power tools that support the circular economy.

“Medica is always a fantastic opportunity to connect with partners who share our passion for quality, precision, and sustainability. As we begin a new chapter as part of the Stille Group, we’re excited to build on our shared heritage and explore how our combined expertise can deliver even greater value for our customers worldwide,” Surgical Holdings Managing Director Dan Coole said. “We’re particularly keen to speak with distributors and dealers who see the benefits of repair and longevity in the orthopedic sector—it’s how we can make a real difference to both hospitals and the planet.”

Surgical Holdings is exhibiting within the ABHI U.K. Pavilion—Hall 16, stand G 23 – 2.
