Our aim is to enhance the overall quality of life for our customers. Our CUI Wear support garments are specifically designed to aid hernia prevention or support an existing hernia. Our post-operative cardiothoracic support range has been developed in partnership with leading NHS hospitals. Our products are designed with unique materials and incorporate features that create a balance between the appropriate level of support and comfort, whilst remaining easy to apply and wear with confidence.
We strive to supply best value to the NHS. We work alongside NHS Nurse Specialists and receive direct referrals for our free home fitting/assessment service throughout most of the UK. Our Support Specialists can offer a consultation either remotely or measure for a bespoke garment if required. CUI are committed to working ethically to minimise wastage to the NHS and maximise compliance.

All our Support Specialists are DBS certified and MIA accredited and are recruited for their care, attention and dedication to our customers and their healthcare.
