GCE Medical returns to EBME Expo 2026 as a committed technical partner to the UK healthcare engineering community. At Stand E14, visitors will discover our proven portfolio of medical gas control and suction oxygen therapy equipment, engineered and manufactured by GCE to support long term hospital standardisation and compliance.
Featured products on the stand will include the Care-e-vac portable suction range, Eurovac and theatre suction solutions, low-pressure hoses, and associated equipment. Together, these solutions support effective suction management across a range of clinical environments.
A key highlight is GCE Medical's unique seven‑year warranty, including accidental damage (UK only), currently unmatched in the market. In an environment where equipment is used daily across multiple departments, unexpected damage and replacement costs can place additional pressure on budgets and resources. By extending protection beyond standard warranty coverage, GCE Medical provides hospitals and healthcare providers with confidence, cost protection, and peace of mind throughout the product lifecycle.
GCE manufactures its own equipment, both in Europe and the UK, ensuring a secure, consistent supply chain and stable product availability for 7–10 years. For hospitals, this means greater continuity and consistency when managing equipment fleets, reducing the challenges that can arise from product changes or supply disruptions.
Beyond the booth, GCE Medical will also host a dedicated MDR workshop on Day 2, led by regulatory expert Rod Beuzeval. Designed specifically for healthcare engineering and clinical teams, the workshop will help attendees better understand the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and its impact on the management of regulated medical devices.
The workshop will be delivered in two sessions. The first session, EU MDR Made Simple (Yes, Really), provides an accessible introduction to the regulation. Attendees will learn why MDR was introduced, the key principles behind the regulation, and the fundamental concepts that underpin the management of CE-marked medical devices. The session is designed for anyone looking to build a stronger understanding of MDR without getting lost in regulatory complexity.
The second session, EU MDR and EBME: The Rules That Matter on the Job, focuses on the aspects of MDR that directly affect day-to-day work within EBME departments. Working with regulated medical devices carries important responsibilities and considerations. This session will explore some of the requirements and potential pitfalls that healthcare engineering teams need to be aware of when managing, maintaining, and supporting these devices.
Through a combination of reliable equipment, long-term product support, secure manufacturing capabilities, and practical regulatory guidance, GCE Medical remains focused on helping healthcare engineering teams address the challenges of today's clinical environments.
Visit Stand E14 to explore these solutions firsthand and learn how GCE Medical supports safe, compliant, and future-ready healthcare environments.
