Wound care specialist appoints UK distributor

Emergency wound care and haemostatic agent specialist Celox Medical has appointed SP Services as the sole distributor for its range of products in the United Kingdom.

SP Services is a distributor of medical supplies to the UK market, experienced in serving emergency services and first aid clients, as well as other business and industry sectors. Clients range from the UK Border Agency and the NHS Ambulance Service, to Cathay Pacific Airways and the London Fire Brigade. This appointment aims to give organisations greater access to emergency trauma wound-care products for pre-hospital environments including Celox Medical’s new Celox Rapid haemostatic gauze.

Geraint Lloyd, business manager of Celox Medical: “The Celox range of products has proven itself to be among the most effective haemostatic products on the market. As such, the products have always been in high demand globally, particularly among military forces and emergency services. However, we’ve seen this demand increase recently, with the UK MOD naming Celox Rapid as its haemostat of choice and a growing body of research supporting the speed and effectiveness of Celox Medical.

“This appointment will help us to leverage SP Services’ UK distribution network to reach further, in turn allowing more organisations to improve the quality and standard of their pre-hospital trauma care. With this, more people will be able to survive potentially life-threatening accidents and injuries.”

Simon Leggett, managing director of SP Services (UK) Ltd: “The speed and efficiency of SP Services in distributing these products will be invaluable in helping both companies reduce fatalities from trauma wounds. We are delighted to be joining forces with Celox Medical in this cause. Working closely together will help leverage both organisations’ expertise in tackling this huge number of casualties and save lives.”
