Simplifying Wound Care
We want patients with non-healing wounds to be free from pain and discomfort and to make life easier for the people who care for them.
Our advanced wound dressings, training, education, and services are developed through open, ongoing conversations with end users and healthcare professionals to reach the same goal: Simplifying Wound Care.

ONPOS is the leading Non-Prescription Ordering Service in the UK. Coloplast has over 15 years experience of implementing this system across 90 NHS organisations.

Patient Self-Care and Supported Shared Care
