Why physios use Meglio alongside Trimbio
Trimbio is excellent for capital equipment and service/repair. The complementary case for Meglio runs across six points.

UK-wide tracked overnight
DPD or DHL tracked. T+1 to mainland UK. No geographic skew towards a regional collection point.
Case-of-9 wholesale tier from order 1
No 30-day credit application before you see wholesale pricing. WELCOME10 + bulk-tier pricing visible on every product page.
Latex-free defaults across the range
Bands, loops, gloves, ultrasound gel, tourniquets: latex-free as standard. One status across the consumables shelf.

What physios tell us about scaling beyond a regional supplier
Four reasons UK physio teams move daily consumables to Meglio
Trimbio is a well-respected Horsham specialist, strongest on couches and capital equipment. For the weekly consumable restock, covering tape, gel, couch roll, bands and gloves, these are the four things clinics tell us push them to consolidate that spend with Meglio.
“Trimbio is brilliant for couches and laser servicing. For the day-to-day consumables, like tape, gel and couch roll, we've always had to fill that order somewhere else.” (private clinic feedback, 2026)
“Easy for South-East clinics, less so when we moved offices. Capital equipment came with installation, but consumables didn't flow the same way.”
“Pricing structure suits ultrasound units and couches. Less competitive on the £4 case of EAB or £24 case of couch roll.”
“We open accounts with specialist suppliers for the capital purchases, but for £40 of cohesive bandage every week it's overkill.”
Based on buyer feedback gathered via Meglio's trade desk in Q1 2026.
Save 20–30% on the consumables Trimbio doesn't price-lead
Meglio pricing from the live Shopify catalogue, inc VAT. "Specialist-distributor typical" is a directional benchmark from physio-supplier listings (Trimbio does not publish a full consumables price list publicly, so confirm by quote).
| SKU | Specialist-distributor typical | Meglio (inc VAT) | Saving (per unit) | Indicative annual saving |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Couch roll case of 9 | £34.00 | £23.94 | £10.06 | £523/yr (wk) |
| Ultrasound gel 250ml | £6.99 | £4.99 | £2.00 | £104/yr (wk) |
| Powder-free gloves (box of 100) | £7.49 | £4.99 | £2.50 | £130/yr (wk) |
| Resistance bands 2m | £6–8 | £3.99 | £2.01 | £24/yr (mo) |
| EAB tape | £2.49 | £1.99 | £0.50 | £26/yr (wk) |
| Indicative total on a regular reorder of these lines | about £807/yr | |||
Buy more, save more: automatic volume pricing
The prices above are single-unit. Order in volume and Meglio's tiered pricing cuts the unit price automatically at checkout, no code needed. Live tiers show on every product page. Examples across the range (ex VAT):
- 2m resistance bands£3.33 → £1.66 at 48+ save 50%
- Cohesive bandage£1.58 → £0.79 at 50+ save 50%
- EAB tape£1.66 → £0.99 at 50+ save 40%
- Kinesiology tape 5m£5.99 → £4.19 at 50+ save 30%
Stack the saving: new customers also get 10% off the first order with code WELCOME10, applied on top of volume pricing.
Worked-math benchmark for a mid-size private physio clinic restocking weekly. Trade-account tier on case-of-9 stacks further saving. JP can model the exact saving against your last PO.

When Trimbio is the right call

- South-East / Horsham collection works if you're local and want to inspect a couch before purchase.
- Calibrated diagnostic equipment with service records: Trimbio's specialty.
