Before we proceed with leech application at Hirudo.Clinic, whether at one of our London locations or through our mobile hirudotherapy services, we kindly ask our clients to Buy Medicinal Leeches in London in advance of the scheduled procedure.
Buy Fresh Medicinal Leeches for Single-Use Application
This ensures that the leeches used in your treatment are fresh and of the highest quality. We recommend buying 5 Medicinal Leeches (Hirudo medicinalis, H. verbana) for £52.00 GBP. These leeches are freshly sourced from a certified bio-pharm, guaranteeing optimal results for single-use application. Please note that this purchase is non-refundable if you decide not to proceed with the procedure within a week. Click below to purchase your leeches and ensure a successful treatment.
Important Note for Medicinal Leech Orders
Please allow 2 business days for processing. This service is available exclusively for clients of Hirudo.Clinic who have scheduled medicinal leech therapy sessions with us. To ensure availability, medicinal leech orders must be placed in advance as part of your treatment plan. This ensures you receive fresh, high-quality medicinal leeches for your session.
Why We Don’t Keep or Breed Medicinal Leeches
At Hirudo.Clinic, we ensure the highest safety and effectiveness for your treatment. We source medicinal leeches (Hirudo medicinalis, H. verbana) directly from certified bio-pharms that maintain strict quality standards. These specialized facilities breed, test, and prepare leeches in controlled environments to meet medical-grade requirements.
Here’s why we choose not to keep or breed leeches ourselves:
- Ensure Quality: Certified bio-pharms guarantee safe, healthy, and effective leeches by following strict protocols. Running an on-site breeding facility would require extensive resources to match this level of quality.
- Prevent Disease: Bio-pharms test leeches regularly to prevent contamination. Breeding or keeping leeches on-site could increase the risk of introducing pathogens.
- Follow Single-Use Guidelines: We use medicinal leeches only once per patient to eliminate any chance of cross-contamination or infection. After use, we dispose of leeches responsibly, adhering to medical waste regulations.
- Focus on Cost and Sustainability: Sourcing leeches from specialized breeders ensures you receive the best quality at a reasonable cost. This approach also supports ethical and sustainable breeding practices.
By collaborating with certified suppliers, we deliver fresh, high-quality medicinal leeches, ensuring safe and effective treatments for every client.
