Helix Gauntlet

A Helix Gauntlet is a device worn by Primaris Space Marine Helix Adepts that is a scaled-down version of an Apothecary's Narthecium tool. Helix Adepts are usually assigned to serve with Infiltrator Squads, who often have their own medicae specialists.

These warriors receive additional training from the Apothecarion, and stand ready to ascend to the rank of full Primaris Apothecary should a tragic loss occur. Meanwhile, they practise their craft in the Vanguard formations, utilising the Helix Gauntlet to carry out their duties.

This duty includes providing battlefield first aid to their Battle-Brothers and collecting their gene-seed for the Chapter if they should fall in combat.
