Getinge today announces the acquisition of Pennamed, a UK-based distributor of endoscopic consumables serving National Health Service (NHS) and independent healthcare providers.

The acquisition strengthens Getinge’s offering to endoscopy units across the United Kingdom (UK) by combining Pennamed’s established consumables portfolio and strong customer relationships with Getinge’s expertise in endoscope reprocessing, infection control, and washer-disinfector technology.

Together, Getinge and Pennamed will support endoscopy teams across the UK Healthcare system with a broader and more integrated offering, helping to improve workflow efficiency, simplify procurement, and support compliance with infection control standards.

Endoscopy services in the UK continue to experience growing demand, driven by screening programmes and increasing procedure volumes. The combined portfolio of Getinge and Pennamed will enable healthcare providers to better manage these pressures while maintaining high standards of patient safety.

“We are delighted to welcome Pennamed to Getinge. This acquisition strengthens our ability to support UK endoscopy departments with a more complete and connected offering. By combining Pennamed’s consumables expertise with our reprocessing and infection control capabilities, we can deliver greater value to our customers and support the NHS in meeting increasing demand,” says Amy Rothwell, President UK & Ireland at Getinge.

“This deal provides a natural strategic home for the Pennamed business, bringing together Pennamed’s specialist endoscopic consumables portfolio with Getinge’s existing endoscopy footprint. This positions the company for continued growth and investment, while ensuring uninterrupted, high‑quality service for customers across the UK healthcare system” say shareholders of Pennamed, Ignatius and Kate Penna.

Getinge is strongly committed to the UK as both a key market and a strategic manufacturing base. With combined annual sales of approximately £130 million and close to 350 employees across Getinge and Pennamed, the UK represents an important part of Getinge’s global operations. The company’s site in Derby serves as a global centre of excellence for chemistry, supporting the continued development of infection control solutions worldwide.

Following the strong reception of the MIS Technology Day Surgeries in Ireland and Scotland, PENNAMED LIMITED is set to bring its innovation to one of the UK’s leading training centres. The company will present at the renowned Eastwood Park Training Facility on Thursday, 14 May 2026.

This invitation marks an important milestone for PENNAMED LIMITED, recognising the company’s growing impact within the endoscopy sector. During the event, the team will spotlight the development journey behind its flagship device, the Eze Flush Pro, and the real-world challenges in endoscope decontamination that inspired its creation.

Rather than adding another tool to the market, the Eze Flush Pro was engineered to address persistent, practical issues faced by decontamination professionals—an approach that continues to resonate across the industry.

The event will also feature contributions from respected sector leaders, including Dean Burand (IDSc) and Dr. Emmanuel I. Epelle, offering attendees a valuable opportunity to engage with a wide range of expert perspectives.

PENNAMED LIMITED looks forward to connecting with professionals from across the field and exploring how collaborative innovation can continue to advance endoscope decontamination practices.

For the last 8 months, we’ve been working behind the scenes on something we believe will redefine the decontamination workflow. 

Today, we are thrilled to pull back the curtain on the revolutionary new 3 in 1 flushing device.

This isn't just another piece of equipment. We have teamed up with the amazing innovators at Dovideq Medical Systems BV to build a machine requested by technicians, suitable for technicians.

We took the "wish lists" from decontamination departments across the country and engineered them into one sleek, aesthetically pleasing and high performance device.

🔬 Precision Meets Compliance
In an era of tightening regulations, the Eze Flush Pro is built to maintain strict IFU requirements while providing strict traceability for audit peace of mind.

Why the Eze Flush Pro is a game changer:

* Intelligent Scope Recognition: Seamless integration when combined with Endoscope Manager.

* Hybrid Tubing: Complete flexibility with Reusable or Single-Use options.

* Smart Leak Testing: Advanced dry/wet leak testing for all scope types.

* Precision Flushing: Individual channel flushing based on volume with selective channel pressures.

* Total Traceability: Data export via USB, Printer, or Cloud Storage—plus full recording capabilities via an optional webcam.

* Safety First: Integrated Channel Blockage Detection and Borescope compatibility.

🚀 Ready to see it in action?
We’ve combined cutting edge tech with a user-friendly interface to make the tough job of scope reprocessing just a little bit "Eze-er."

Don't just take our word for it. Contact your local representative to arrange a hands-on demo today and see the future of decontamination for yourself.

In recent years, the world has witnessed a growing awareness of the environmental impact of plastic pollution. As a result, many companies and individuals have been striving to reduce their plastic usage and find more sustainable alternatives. One significant area where this shift is taking place is in the realm of packaging.

Plastic packaging has long been a staple in the consumer goods industry due to its convenience and cost-effectiveness. However, its detrimental effects on the environment, particularly in terms of pollution and harm to wildlife, have prompted a reevaluation of its usage. Companies across various sectors, from food and beverage to medical suppliers, have been rethinking their packaging strategies to minimise their environmental footprint.
