Medical Filtration Solutions

What Medical Filtration Solutions does

Medical Filtration Solutions Ltd is a UK-based, ISO 13485-certified contract manufacturer that designs and produces bespoke high-efficiency air and gas filters for medical device OEMs. Founded in January 2014 as a sister company to Air Filtration Solutions Ltd, it operates from a single manufacturing facility in Longridge, Preston, Lancashire, and serves customers across respiratory home care, pulmonary function testing, and surgical/endoscopic suction markets — including the NHS and OEMs such as ResMed.

The company's product portfolio spans three core OEM lines: CPAP/BPAP refill filters (including ResMed S8/S9/S10, Prisma and PR1 compatible variants), spirometry filters and accessories under the Spiroflo brand, and suction/surgical smoke filters (hydrophobic ePTFE and ULPA disc variants). Underpinning these is the proprietary HEPAC (High Efficiency Particulate Arrestance Composite) media platform, which combines glass fibres, activated carbon impregnated cloth, cellulose, e-PTFE and PVDF with electrostatic polarisation to achieve >99.999% bacterial and viral filtration efficiency, validated independently by Nelson Laboratories. Production is conducted in an environmentally controlled area (BS EN ISO 14644-1) with in-house injection moulding, ultrasonic welding and precision laser cutting.

Commercially, Medical Filtration Solutions generates revenue through hardware sales of OEM-specified and replacement filters, plus service revenue from product design/validation and contract manufacturing. The business is private, has 11-50 employees, holds no external funding rounds in the disclosed record, and is positioned as a niche, regulation-intensive supplier in the medical device value chain rather than a scaled consumer brand.

• Camfil: Camfil is a major air filtration manufacturer with healthcare-focused product lines for cleanrooms and hospital air quality. It overlaps MFS on the air purification/HEPA side of the medical filtration market, particularly for healthcare facility applications.
• AAF Flanders (American Air Filter): AAF Flanders manufactures HEPA/ULPA filtration products and cleanroom solutions with healthcare and life-sciences product lines. It competes with MFS primarily in medical-grade air purification and clean environment filtration used by hospital and OEM customers.
• 3M Health Care: 3M manufactures medical-grade filtration media and finished filters used in respirators, anaesthesia circuits, and HVAC/IAQ across healthcare. It is a broad incumbent competing with MFS at both the OEM and end-user level in medical air filtration.
• Donaldson Company: Donaldson is a large industrial and life-sciences filtration manufacturer with growing medical device filter offerings. It is comparable to MFS in OEM air/gas filtration but at substantially greater scale and global reach.
• Pall Corporation (Danaher): Pall/Danaher is a global medical and bioprocess filtration specialist with a deep portfolio of medical-grade air, gas and liquid filters for hospital, respiratory, and OEM applications. It competes with MFS in OEM medical filtration at the upper end of scale and breadth.

Direct peers

• Parker Hannifin (domnick hunter): Parker's domnick hunter line is one of the most direct competitors in OEM medical air and gas filtration for hospital and life-science applications. It sells into respiratory, surgical smoke, and biopharma end uses that overlap MFS's CPAP, spirometry, and suction filter lines.
• GVS Group: GVS is a global manufacturer of medical-grade filtration solutions including HME/HMEF, breathing system filters, and suction/insufflation filters — categories that directly overlap MFS's spirometry, CPAP and surgical smoke product lines for OEM medical device customers.
• W. L. Gore & Associates (Medical): Gore's medical division makes ePTFE membrane-based filtration products including surgical smoke and hydrophobic vent filters used in suction, insufflation and respiratory applications. MFS's ePTFE hydrophobic and ULPA products put them in direct competition in OEM surgical/respiratory filtration.

Emerging players

• STERIS Corporation: STERIS, focused on infection prevention and sterilization, has expanded into medical filtration accessories and OEM device supply. It competes with MFS for OEM filtration content within surgical and respiratory device platforms.
