Documented to the lot.
Every shipment is backed by traceable compliance — from CITES export permits to veterinary health certification.
CITES Appendix II permits
Hirudo medicinalis is CITES Appendix II listed. We obtain the export permits required for legal cross-border movement.
Veterinary health certificates
Consignments are accompanied by veterinary health certification appropriate to the destination.
Medical device context
Medicinal leeches are regulated as a medical device in major markets — including FDA clearance in the United States since 2004.
Quality management
Husbandry, fasting and dispatch follow documented quality procedures aligned with recognised standards.
Animal-welfare husbandry
Controlled breeding and holding conditions are designed around the health and welfare of the animal.
Lot traceability
Each batch is traceable from breeding line to dispatch, supporting recall and audit requirements.
From breeding line to clinic door.
We maintain batch records across the chain so a delivered animal can be traced back to its origin and handling history.
Sample certificates, permits and health documentation are available to qualified trade partners on request, ahead of order confirmation.
