CliniMed

What CliniMed does

CliniMed is a UK-based, privately held medical device company that designs, manufactures, and distributes products across three core therapy areas: stoma care, continence care, and wound care. Founded in 1982 and operating as part of the CliniMed Group of seven wholly-owned UK subsidiaries, the company serves patients who have undergone stoma surgery, individuals managing urinary incontinence, and those requiring advanced wound management. Its portfolio comprises multiple sub-brands including Aura and Aura Plus stoma bags, CliniSure urinary sheaths and drainage bags, Curan self-catheters, LBF and CliniShield Advance barrier films, CliniPeel and Appeel Sterile adhesive removers, CliniSorb charcoal dressings, and the Tensi+ neuromuscular electrical stimulation device. Notable technical assets include UK Patent GB2448517 and EU Patent EP1982743 covering the CliniFix securement technology, with sterile-pack Appeel packaging under licence.

CliniMed generates revenue primarily through NHS framework agreements that supply hospitals, wholesalers, and dispensing appliance contractors, supplemented by a direct-to-patient home delivery service operated through its SecuriCare subsidiary and a UK Amazon storefront for consumer access. The go-to-market motion combines enterprise field sales to NHS Trusts and clinical buyers with patient-facing engagement via free product samples, CPD-accredited clinician education, and disease-state content. Manufacturing is performed in-house through group subsidiaries including Welland Medical (ostomy appliances, also distributed globally), Flexible Medical Packaging, Hydrokem Aerosols, Careflex (specialist seating), and Helapet (cleanroom consumables), while additional brands such as Curan (Curan Medical BV), Instillagel (Farco Pharma GmbH), and ComfortCoat (DSM Biomedical B.V.) are distributed under licensing arrangements.

The business holds a comprehensive regulatory and quality certification stack including ISO 13485:2016, EU MDR (expiry February 2028), UKCA marking, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 9001:2015, and NHS Supply Chain Labour Standards compliance, which collectively constitute material barriers to entry. The company is headquartered in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire with the CliniMed (Holdings) Limited parent in Marlow, employs 101-250 people across the group, has no disclosed revenue, operates a UK-centric footprint with select European distribution through Welland Medical's distributor network, and was recognized as a 2026 Best Workplace in the large organisation category by Great Place to Work.
