Diamedica provides medical equipment for the world's most challenging environments

Welcome to Diamedica!

Diamedica is a medical manufacturing company with a firmly established reputation as a producer and supplier of specialised equipment for those working in challenging environments around the world. With years of experience working alongside those who work in some of the world's most hostile environments, it is our philosophy never to supply equipment which is unfit for purpose or requires the end user to possess resources or skills they might not be able to find locally. Those working in the developing world face enough difficulties without being supplied with unsuitable, unsustainable equipment.

Diamedica produces and manufactures the Glostavent® Anaesthesia System, now present in over 30 countries worldwide, alongside complementary anaesthesia products and other equipment suitable for a wide range of clinical settings. We offer comprehensive set up and training packages, project management and back up.

Diamedica supports the principles of the World Federation of Societies of Anaesthesiologists:

"...to make available the highest standards of anaesthesia, pain treatment, trauma management and resuscitation to all peoples of the world and to disseminate the same amongst them."
