What UNOQUIP does

UNOQUIP GmbH is a privately held Swiss medical device company, founded in 2022 and headquartered in Schaffhausen with a UK office in London. It designs, markets, and distributes its own branded portfolio of single-use medical devices for acute care settings across six categories: fluid management and monitoring (including the Q500 Plus Diuresis Measuring System with top-mounted design, dual Non-Return Valves, and a Double-Lumen Free-Flow system), urological drainage (100% silicone Foley catheters with up to 90-day retention, hydrophilic intermittent catheters under the ConviCath line, sterile closed-system bags, leg and night bags), airway management (Magill-shaped tracheal tubes with thin-walled PU-HVLP polyurethane cuffs, suctioning devices, nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal airways), respiratory care (oxygen and aerosol therapy, face masks), surgical suction (handles, sets, tubing), and nursing care (PVC-free polyurethane feeding tubes with ENFit connectors, nursing accessories). Manufacturing is outsourced to specialised certified partners in China under formal Supply and Quality Agreements and a 2-year due-diligence cycle, and finished goods are shipped to healthcare facilities through logistics distribution centres in Belgium, the UK, and Australia.

The business operates as an asset-light B2B distributor serving acute care hospitals, intensive care units, neonatal and paediatric units, and home and community care providers across at least seven countries (Switzerland, UK, Finland, Germany, Norway, Spain, Australia). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; orders are taken through the website contact form and sales team, with free samples offered for clinical evaluation. UNOQUIP is DQS-certified to DIN EN ISO 13485:2021 (EN ISO 13485:2016/A11:2021, ISO 13485:2016) and MDR-compliant, with electronic Instructions for Use (eIFU) for all products. Revenue is below the £36 million annual turnover threshold per the Modern Slavery Act statement for the year ended 31 December 2024; the company has no disclosed external funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and reports two named executives (COO Helle Egebjerg Kure and website-responsible Antje Wedler). Customer satisfaction indicators have improved sharply, with NPS rising from 77.4% in June 2025 to 92.5% in January 2026 with zero detractors, supporting a strong-growth profile at an early-stage scale.
