Are there companies out that actually supply maggots and leeches to hospital?

Maggots and leeches are indeed used in certain medical procedures, primarily for wound debridement (removing dead tissue from a wound) and leech therapy (hirudotherapy). However, it is not typical for hospitals to maintain a direct supply of maggots or leeches. Instead, specialized companies exist that breed, sterilize, and supply maggots and leeches for medical purposes. These companies follow strict regulations and quality control measures to ensure the safety and efficacy of their products.

One example of such a company is Medical Maggots, based in the United Kingdom. They provide sterilized maggots to healthcare facilities and professionals. Similarly, Biopharm Leeches, based in Poland, specializes in breeding medicinal leeches and distributing them to hospitals and clinics worldwide.

These companies work closely with medical institutions and healthcare providers to understand their specific needs and provide the necessary quantities and types of maggots or leeches for various medical applications.
