About Us
At Eakin Healthcare, our patient is at the heart of everything we do. Fifty years ago, it all started with one man's mission: pharmacist Tom George Eakin.
He saw his patients struggling with leaking urostomy pouches and decided enough was enough. He got to work and formulated what would become the game-changing Eakin Cohesive seal.

We've grown a lot since then, both organically and through acquisitions. We now have a team of over 700 colleagues across three manufacturing sites and 12 sales and distribution centres.
We're proud to export our innovative products to over 60 countries through a network of 40 distributors plus our own offices in Japan, The Netherlands, France, Germany, Belgium and Luxemburg.
