Defibrillators
Defibrillators deliver a controlled electrical shock to the heart in cases of sudden cardiac arrest. They are mainly used by trained clinical teams in hospital A&E and by lay responders across workplaces, public spaces, sports facilities and community settings via AED (automated external defibrillator) programmes. Our range of defibrillators includes Philips HeartStart, Zoll AED, and other established AED brands, alongside a comprehensive selection of replacement defibrillator pads, batteries, wall cabinets, and carry cases for AED maintenance and public-access programmes.
Browse defibrillators, AED defibrillator systems and replacement supplies for NHS ambulance trusts, hospital A&E departments, GP surgeries, workplaces, schools, sports clubs and community defibrillator programmes.

Defibrillators And AED Pads For Public-Access, Workplace And Healthcare Use
Defibrillators are unusual in clinical procurement because the initial purchase is a one-off decision, but the pads, batteries, and cabinets around them require ongoing replacement throughout the equipment’s lifetime. AED pads typically expire around two to three years after manufacture, batteries around two to five years depending on the model and usage pattern, and public-access AEDs also need suitable cabinets, signage and regular inspection to stay ready for use. That means the pads-and-accessories side of the defibrillator category tends to be busier than the units themselves.
The HCE defibrillators range pulls together products across the main AED lines used in the UK. Philips HeartStart HS1 and FRx AEDs sit alongside the Zoll AED 3 and AED Plus range, with Wel Medical-listed products covering iPAD (SP1 and SP2), Cardiac Science Powerheart G3 and G5, and Lifeline defibrillator systems and accessories. Mindray BeneHeart pads, batteries and reusable training pads make up a substantial share of the accessory range, and Schiller, Laerdal, Martek Medical and Mediana are also represented.
Our range includes:
- Philips defibrillators: Philips HeartStart AED defibrillators including the HS1 (designed with step-by-step voice instructions for lay responders) and the FRx (for public access and first responder use), supplied with battery and pads, available with slim or standard carry cases.
- Defibrillator pads: Replacement AED pads for many of the systems in the range – Philips HeartStart SMART Pads (adult and paediatric), Zoll Stat-padz, CPR Stat-padz and Pedi-padz, Mindray MR62 and MR63 auto-identification electrodes, Cardiac Science Powerheart electrodes, Mediana A15 pads and Lifeline defibrillation pad packages. Pads are designed for specific defibrillator models, so buyers should identify the exact defibrillator before selecting replacement pads.
- Defibrillator parts and accessories: Replacement batteries (Cardiac Science Powerheart G3 IntelliSense, Powerheart G5, Zoll AED 3, iPAD SP1, Mindray BeneHeart C-Series), AED start kits (gloves, wipes, face shield, Tuff Cuts and razor), reusable training pads and other maintenance supplies.
- Defibrillator wall mounts and carry cases: Wall-mounted AED cabinets with alarms (including the Aivia range), Zoll AED 3 carry cases, ZOLL AED Rescue Backpacks and other transport and mounting solutions for public-access and mobile AED setups.
The range also includes training AEDs, such as the Zoll AED 3 Trainer and Zoll AED Plus Trainer II for use in CPR training environments where a working defibrillator isn’t needed.
Related HCE categories often ordered together with defibrillators include our wider accident and emergency equipment range, pulse oximeters, vital sign monitors, first aid supplies and CPR training equipment under teaching aids.
Rolling out a workplace AED programme, restocking pads across a public-access estate, or specifying a professional defibrillator for a clinical setting all raise different questions on model compatibility and pricing. Our team can advise on any of these – request a quotation or contact our team directly. HCE supplies defibrillators and AED accessories to NHS ambulance trusts, hospital A&E departments, GP surgeries, workplaces, community defibrillation programmes and training providers across the UK.
FAQs
What is an AED defibrillator?
An AED (automated external defibrillator) is a portable, easy-to-use defibrillator that can be operated by lay responders as well as trained clinicians. AEDs analyse the patient’s heart rhythm automatically, provide voice or visual prompts to guide the responder, and only deliver a shock when a shockable rhythm is detected. They’re found in workplaces, public spaces, sports facilities, schools and community settings as part of public-access defibrillation programmes.
How do I know which defibrillator pads to order?
Defibrillator pads are designed for specific AEDs and manufacturer product lines, and are not interchangeable across systems. Before ordering, identify the defibrillator model and the type of pads it uses (adult, paediatric, single-use, reusable training), and check the manufacturer’s compatibility list. It’s also worth checking the pack’s expiry date on receipt and rotating stock as part of routine equipment checks.
Which defibrillator brands does HCE stock?
Our defibrillator range covers products from established AED and defibrillator manufacturers, including Philips HeartStart (HS1, FRx), Zoll (AED 3, AED Plus), Cardiac Science Powerheart G3 and G5, iPAD (SP1, SP2), Lifeline, Mediana and Mindray BeneHeart. Compatible pads, batteries and accessories are stocked for each of these systems.
Does HCE supply defibrillator pads and replacement batteries?
Yes, we do. Replacement defibrillator pads and batteries make up a substantial part of our defibrillator range, including Philips HeartStart SMART Pads, Zoll Stat-padz, Pedi-padz and CPR Stat-padz, Mindray MR62 and MR63 electrode pads, Cardiac Science Powerheart electrodes, Mediana A15 pads and Lifeline defibrillation pad packages, along with replacement batteries for each system. Since pads and batteries are model-specific, the exact defibrillator model should be identified before placing an order.
Can NHS trusts and workplaces order defibrillators from HCE?
Yes. HCE supplies defibrillators, AED defibrillators and replacement supplies to NHS ambulance trusts, hospital A&E departments, GP surgeries, workplaces, schools, sports clubs, community defibrillation programmes and training providers across the UK.
