We have a strong focus on products used in the treatment of lower limb conditions and more specifically compression therapy. This includes products for woundcare,  lymhoedema therapy, sports compression, DVT prevention and intermittent compression therapy. A natural extension of these products was orthotics and materials used in podiatry and today we are a major supplier into this growing market.

Over the years we have built up a strong, loyal customer base and believe this is because of our absolute dedication to customer service excellence.

Erika provides Fluoroscopy-guided Lymphoedema mapping which is a cutting-edge diagnostic and treatment method utilizing Near Infrared Imaging (NIR) to visualize the lymphatic system in real time. This technique, developed by Professor J.P. Belgrado, uses a Photodynamic Eye camera and Indocyanine Green (ICG) to observe functional lymphatics. It enables precise mapping of lymphatic pathways, enhancing the effectiveness of Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) techniques tailored to individual patients. The mapping, combined with “Fill and Flush” (Fluoroscopy Guided Manual Lymph Drainage – FG-MLD), improves treatment outcomes, empowers patients with self-care knowledge, and allows for early detection and management of lymphoedema, particularly benefiting oncology patients. This innovative approach is the first of its kind on the African continent.
