Sea-Band

What Sea-Band does

Sea-Band Ltd, founded in 1986 and headquartered in Hinckley, Leicestershire, UK, designs and sells drug-free acupressure wristbands that apply continuous pressure on the P6 (Nei-Kuan) acupressure point via a small plastic stud sewn into an elastic knit band. The product line spans adult, child, maternity ("Mama Band"), and XL sizing specifically targeted at GLP-1-induced nausea, with a complementary ginger-based supplement portfolio (gum, lozenges, capsules). The technology is supported by clinical evidence, including a University of Pittsburgh Medical Center study showing post-operative nausea reduced to 10% incidence and an Italian study showing 70% morning-sickness reduction.

The company operates a dual-channel go-to-market: direct-to-consumer via a Shopify-powered storefront (seaband.com) priced in the $15-$136 range across individual pairs, value packs, and bundles, and physical retail through pharmacy and drug-chain distribution in 50+ countries, executed via a network of country-specific distributors (e.g., Card Health Care in Canada, Sahag AG in Switzerland, Consulteam in Italy, Pharmashalom in Israel, Solarmed in Türkiye). Sea-Band Ltd is ISO 13485 UKAS-certified as a medical-device manufacturer, sells under its own brand and the "nausearelief.com" community platform, and operates a sub-brand called Mama Band. Headcount is in the 11-50 range, the company is privately held with no disclosed institutional ownership or funding, and no enterprise/B2B customer concentration is evident in the input data.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Psi Bands: Psi Bands makes drug-free acupressure wristbands for nausea relief from motion sickness, morning sickness, and chemotherapy. It is the closest functional direct competitor to Sea-Band, sharing the same P6-nei-kuan acupressure mechanism, similar pharmacy retail placement, and a comparable DTC channel.
• ReliefBand: ReliefBand Technologies sells FDA-cleared electronic anti-nausea wristbands that stimulate the median nerve at the wrist to relieve motion sickness, morning sickness, and chemotherapy-induced nausea. It competes with Sea-Band in the same anti-nausea wristband category but uses electrical neurostimulation rather than mechanical acupressure.
• NoMo Nausea (Woodside Wellness): NoMo Nausea produces acupressure wristbands targeting the P6/Nei-Kuan point for drug-free nausea relief in adults, children, and pregnancy. It is a direct niche competitor to Sea-Band in the natural anti-nausea wristband segment, including pediatric and motion-sickness use cases.

Emerging players

• EmeTerm (WAT Medical): EmeTerm, made by WAT Medical, is an electronic wearable anti-nausea device targeting the median nerve on the wrist. It addresses the same drug-free nausea indications as Sea-Band (motion, morning sickness, chemo) but represents an emerging competing technology - electrical stimulation rather than mechanical acupressure.
• Preggie Pops: Preggie Pops are OTC natural-nausea lollipops/lozenges targeted at morning sickness and pregnancy nausea, with ginger and B6 formulations. They overlap with Sea-Band Mama Band and ginger-supplement SKUs in the same maternity use case and natural-nausea positioning.
• Three Lollies (Queasy Pops/Drops): Three Lollies markets Queasy Drops and Queasy Pops candy-style remedies for morning sickness, motion sickness, and chemotherapy nausea. It is comparable to Sea-Band as a drug-free, retail-pharmacy alternative in the same nausea-relief category with overlapping SKU formats.

Broad incumbents

• Dramamine: Dramamine is a leading OTC antiemetic drug brand (marketed by Prestige Consumer Healthcare) used widely for motion sickness. It competes with Sea-Band for the same use case and shelf at drugstores and pharmacies, but via a drug-based mechanism with side effects, representing Sea-Band's main incumbent competitor in the motion-sickness category.
• Nauzene: Nauzene is an OTC anti-nausea medication brand (Alva-Amco) sold at U.S. drug retailers for upset stomach and motion-related nausea. It overlaps with Sea-Band's chemotherapy, morning-sickness, and general nausea use cases as a drug-based alternative stocked on the same pharmacy shelves.
