Medi UK is a leading supplier of medical compression garments for the prophylaxis and treatment of oedema and venous disease.

Medi also has a range of products for the cleaning of wounds and diagnosis of circulatory disease in the lower limbs and a wide range of soft supports and braces for orthopaedic conditions.

Limbco Ltd supplies the administration and logistics for medi UK throughout the UK, ensuring and delivering a prompt and efficient service for healthcare professionals.

Limbco is a leader in the field of hyperhidrosis and excessive sweating and has a range of products, training and support to help both healthcare professionals and patients.

Medi UK Ltd and Limbco Ltd (formally STD Pharmaceutical Products Ltd) have been based in Hereford since the 1960’s and have focused on suppling quality products, services and training to healthcare professionals in these fields.

STD Pharmaceutical Products Ltd was founded in 1967 for the manufacture, sales and marketing of a pharmaceutical for the treatment of varicose veins.

This product, known as a sclerosing agent, has been sold worldwide for over 50 years.

Limbco continue to offer support services in this field.

Both medi UK and Limbco recognise Nurses as the foundation of the care supplied to those that suffer from these conditions and being asked to offer recognition and tribute to local primary and secondary care individuals is a great honour.
