About Alesi Surgical
Alesi Surgical is a Cardiff-based medical device company specialising in surgical smoke management and advanced visualisation technology for operating theatres. Their product range includes the Ultravision Systems, IonWand, Innervision, and Visual Field Clearing System - each designed to improve surgical visibility, patient safety, and clinical outcomes.
Used by surgeons across Europe and internationally, Alesi's technology is built around a unique electrostatic precipitation method that eliminates surgical smoke at source during both laparoscopic and open surgery.
The Challenge
Medical device translation is not standard translation. Every document type - whether a Patient Information Leaflet, an IFU, a product label, or a service manual - carries regulatory obligations. The language must be precise, consistent, and compliant with the requirements of each target market. Errors are not just a brand problem: they are a patient safety problem.
Alesi Surgical operates across a range of European markets, with a portfolio spanning multiple product lines, each with its own documentation set. Managing translation across that breadth - maintaining specialist surgical and manufacturing terminology, ensuring every sterile pack, label, and manual meets market requirements - demands a partner with deep medical device knowledge and a rigorous quality process.
The Work
From product labelling and sterile pack content to service manuals and marketing materials - here's what Talking Heads handles for Alesi Surgical across their full product range.

Regulatory and Clinical Documentation
The highest-stakes content in any medical device portfolio.

Talking Heads handles translation, proofreading, and localisation with specialist medical device translators throughout.

Why It Works
Long-term translation partnerships are built on genuine understanding - of the product, its markets, and what it takes to get every word exactly right.
For Alesi Surgical, that means a partner who understands that a Patient Information Leaflet and a service manual are not just different documents - they carry different regulatory weight, different audiences, and different consequences if the terminology slips. Who knows that medical device translation is not a volume exercise: it is a precision one. Who can handle the full document lifecycle, from sterile pack labelling to manufacturing records, without consistency ever wavering.
Talking Heads brings specialist medical device translation experience, deep knowledge of the surgical and manufacturing terminology Alesi's products demand, a structured quality workflow, and the linguistic breadth to cover their full international footprint.
