First Water is a fast-growing privately-owned manufacturing business with a focus on the market for advanced wound dressings.

We operate two UK manufacturing sites. The main FDA-registered research and manufacturing facility is based near Marlborough in Southern England, where a broad and growing portfolio of CE-marked wound dressings are manufactured in Class 7 (equivalent to Class 10,000) clean rooms.

Both FW sites are registered with BSI and have ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 13485:2003 accreditation.

Our core technologies are applicable to a number of markets, notably: 

  • Professional Woundcare Dressings
  • Advanced Consumer First Aid
