Human Gamgee®
Our Gamgee® is a greatly improved and modern version of the original gauze and cotton tissue invented in 1880 by Dr Joseph Sampson Gamgee, a pioneer in aseptic surgery, in association with Robinson Healthcare who were assigned the patent and manufactured the first product. Today, Gamgee® is still the market leader and widely used, sharing the original’s unique benefits with modern, high quality manufacturing.

Veterinary Gamgee®
Veterinary Gamgee® has also been held in high regard for many years within equestrian settings. Manufactured to the highest standard in our UK manufacturing facility, Veterinary Gamgee® is a great addition to any equine first aid kit.
