Opportunity overview

Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, intends to award a contract to Medivate for the one off purchase of Geister Peripheral and Major Vascular Access Instruments. The University Hospital of Wales (UHW) operates as a Major Trauma Centre and provides regional vascular and trauma services, receiving referrals from across South and West Wales. Theatre capacity is being expanded, including the development of additional major trauma and hybrid theatres to support high‑complexity trauma and vascular surgery.Peripheral and major vascular instrument sets are required for use across multiple theatre settings, including elective vascular theatres, CEPOD emergency theatres, Major Trauma Centre theatres, and hybrid/endovascular suites. These instrument sets support the delivery of abdominal aortic repairs, carotid endarterectomies, lower limb revascularisation procedures, trauma‑related vascular repairs, and conversions from endovascular to open surgery.The existing instrument inventory currently comprises three major vascular sets and four peripheral sets, which are fully utilised for elective, endovascular, and reserved damage‑control activity. This utilisation limits availability for urgent and out‑of‑hours procedures. The procurement of additional instrument trays is required to maintain operational capacity, ensure cover for emergency, weekend, and trauma activity, and support continuity of elective services across planned and unplanned care pathways.

Why this procedure was chosen
To maintain standardisation of both major and peripheral vascular access instrument sets across theatre environments, the use of Geister instruments is required. These instruments are necessary to ensure consistency of configuration and compatibility with the existing instrument inventory in use within the Health Board. Medivate is the sole authorised distributor of Geister vascular instruments within the UK, and no alternative suppliers are available to provide equivalent items.
