About The Client
Oxford Medical Products is led by a group of scientists, medical professionals, and entrepreneurs who have come together to solve one of the world’s toughest and most urgent medical challenges.
Recently, they have developed Sirona, a gastro-tentative hydrogel platform technology that is currently in human clinical trials as a weight loss treatment and has a potential application to drug and nutraceutical delivery and biosensors.
Professor Jan Czenurska, a world-renowned expert in hydrogels, and Dr. Hutan Ashrafian, a pioneering bariatric surgeon, realised they could combine their expertise to create something genuinely new to help people with weight loss. Dr. Camilla Easter and Dr. Nick Edwards, two medically trained entrepreneurs, joined Oxford Medical Products to turn this vision into a reality.
Over two-thirds of the developed world’s population is affected by excessive weight. OMP wants to change this and hand millions the power to achieve a healthy weight.
“Weight gain is preventable but, despite over a hundred years of attempts, no universally safe and effective non-surgical weight-loss solution has been found,” says Dr. Camilla Easter, Oxford Medical’s CEO.
We spoke to Joanna Jablonska, Oxford Medical’s Manufacturing Manager, who explains how ReAgent’s high quality products, innovative solutions, and excellent customer service have supported OMP from initial testing through to industrial scale production.
Business Objectives
Oxford Medical started trialling their new technology on a small scale, requiring only limited amounts of simulated gastric fluid to test the efficacy of their innovative product.
As trials succeeded, they needed a supplier who was able to support them through the development phase and continue to support them through scaling up their contract manufacturing requirements and beyond.
That’s where ReAgent’s ability to provide consistent, high-quality chemical solutions and excellent customer service made them an ideal partner, available at the right time to step in and help.
Why Oxford Medical Chose ReAgent
“We researched multiple tool-mixing companies before selecting ReAgent, and they were the only company that we contacted that offered support from the initial small batches all the way through to the full production quantities.
“ReAgent’s ability to support us through our role from R&D to clinical trials has been absolutely instrumental to our success.”
But it wasn’t just that we could fulfil Oxford Medical’s chemical requirements on the scales they required.
Joanna says that another major factor in choosing ReAgent was our outstanding customer service:
“John and Kerry were extremely kind and very easy to deal with, and able to answer all of our questions.”
The Results
ReAgent and Oxford Medical Products have established a real partnership. We work together to ensure that Oxford Medical receives the highest quality products on time, while providing best-in-class customer service.
Hopefully, it won’t be long before Oxford Medical’s clinical trials are given the stamp of approval, and the product can go to market. Once this happens, ReAgent would be happy to continue the relationship, taking our proven expertise and experience in contract chemical manufacturing to meet customer demand and distribution needs.
Joanna ends by saying:
“I would definitely recommend ReAgent for their commitment to high quality products, innovative solutions, and excellent customer service.”
