Who are Lavender Medical
Since 2009, Lavender Medical has helped UK surgeons give their patients the benefit of the latest orthopaedic technology. From our base in Letchworth, Hertfordshire, we supply hospitals across the country with specialist implants for the foot and ankle, hand and wrist, knee and shoulder.
We work with research-led manufacturers from Europe and around the world, and we stay with every product once it reaches theatre: support in office hours with out-of-hours help for urgent cases, loan kits when and where you need them, and hands-on training at HIVE, our own surgical skills centre.
Manufacturers we work with
We supply implants and instruments from research-led manufacturers in Europe, the USA and Asia, and support every product in theatre.
Education & training
Learn by doing at HIVE
HIVE is our surgical skills centre in Letchworth, a fully equipped space where surgeons and theatre teams practise techniques, trial new implants and train together, away from the pressure of a live list.
