The Oxylitre difference

Reasons to choose Oxylitre

Experience, quality, and responsibility built into everything we make.

Over 65 years of manufacturing experience

Oxylitre has been manufacturing medical devices for over 65 years, making us one of the most experienced medical device manufacturers in the UK.

With decades of knowledge behind us, we understand the importance of reliability, consistency and quality in healthcare environments. Our products are designed and manufactured with care, using experience built over generations.

Proudly UK-based

We are proud to manufacture in the UK and to work with a predominantly UK-based supply chain.

Around 95% of the items we use are sourced within the UK, helping us support local businesses, maintain strong supplier relationships, and keep better control over quality, availability and lead times.

Supporting local businesses

Choosing Oxylitre means supporting more than just one manufacturer.

Our UK-based supply chain helps support skilled workers, specialist suppliers and local businesses across the country. By keeping manufacturing and sourcing close to home, we help strengthen the UK medical device industry and contribute to the wider local economy.

Lower freight, lower environmental impact

Because the majority of our supply chain is based in the UK, we avoid relying heavily on long-distance international freight.

This helps reduce unnecessary transport, packaging and freight-related carbon emissions. By sourcing locally wherever possible, we manufacture responsibly while continuing to deliver the quality and reliability healthcare providers expect.

Regulation & compliance

Committed to modern medical device regulation

Oxylitre is currently progressing through its EU MDR submission, demonstrating our continued commitment to quality, safety and reliable medical device manufacturing.

The EU Medical Device Regulation represents a significant step forward in medical device oversight, placing greater emphasis on product safety, technical documentation, clinical evaluation, post-market surveillance and ongoing compliance.

For Oxylitre, working towards EU MDR is more than a regulatory requirement. It is a reflection of our commitment to producing dependable medical equipment that healthcare professionals can trust.

Experience adapting to change

Oxylitre has seen medical device regulation evolve many times throughout its history. In 1998 we adopted the requirements of the Medical Device Directive (MDD) as part of our ongoing commitment to meeting recognised medical device standards.

Today, as we work towards EU MDR, we continue that same approach: respecting the experience and knowledge built over decades, while adapting to new requirements and expectations within the medical device industry. This combination of long-standing experience and willingness to evolve is central to who we are.
