Our Company - Win Health Ltd. 

Win Health Ltd. is a successful Scottish healthcare company offering a broad and diverse portfolio of healthcare, fitness and lifestyle products. We are leaders in the provision of medical devices playing important roles in falls and fracture prevention, pressure ulcer prevention, wound care, incontinence, pelvic floor health, pain relief, laser phototherapy and more.

Win Health Ltd. was founded in 2001 by Halina Wooldridge with the key objectives of supplying proven and user friendly hip protectors to the UK market and developing aesthetically pleasing and highly effective range of re-usable incontinence products. Win Health achieved the first goal in 2002, when Win Health became the sole UK importer of HipSaver hip protector and DermaSaver breathable pressure relief and fragile skin protectors from the USA. Win Health also secured an agreement to manufacture in Scotland HipSaver products destined for the UK market and the manufacturing of HipSaver hip protector by Win Health on the company's premisses in Jedburgh commenced in the early 2003.

Win Health is now an approved supplier to the NHS in all parts of the United Kingdom. HipSaver products can be purchased directly from Win Health as well as from the Distribution Centres of the NHS Supply Chain (NHS Contract for England, Wales and Northern Ireland). In Scotland, Win Health features on the SHS (Scottish Healthcare Supplies) website as a hip protector provider and distributes HipSaver products directly to the NHS Trusts.

In 2004, Win Health introduced own design FallSmart bedside fall out mats, a unique design of mats that protect against injuries caused by accidental fall out of bed. The mats are company's own designed and are manufactured locally in the UK. The unique design of the FallSmart mat minimises risks normally associated with other mats, rugs or mattresses placed by the bed side to cushion the farces of the fall out. The FallSmart bedside fall out mats are very popular with hospitals and care homes nationwide as well as with many people receiving care at home.

Win Health now manufactures in Scotland its own exclusive FibreFresh brand of incontinence bed and chair pads, waterproof bedding and mattress protectors. The FibreFresh continence care products are manufactured to the highest quality standards. Our ability to manufacture our own products allows us to offer a unique "bespoke" service for customers who need continence products in different sizes and shapes, a "made to measure" service, which is proving to be very popular with customers worldwide.

Win Health is currently progressing the making of the HipSaver hip protectors. The company feels that manufacturing of "high demand and high growth" products - such as the HipSaver hip protectors and the FibreFresh continence range - presents a great opportunity to Win Health and to the Scottish Borders, where traditional skills like "cut and sew" are now declining largely due to textile and garment companies outsourcing manufacturing to other parts of the world.

The company’s strategic aim is to forge close relationships with other healthcare companies, medical devices manufacturers and with medical specialists in the UK, so that we can provide our customers with an extensive portfolio of innovative healthcare products and educational resources at affordable prices.
