LEDA Orthopaedics. Who are we?
LEDA Orthopaedics is an independent UK-based orthopaedic distributor founded in 2013 by David Plane and Jonathan Bloy. We specialise in innovative niche trauma implants, hand surgery prostheses and value-added solutions for orthopaedic procedures. Based in Cambridgeshire with a 20-strong national sales and clinical support team, we serve both the NHS and independent sector, and have excellent relationships with clinicians in many orthopaedic specialties, across the country.
We are a family business with a culture of teamwork, dedication, passion and fun. We have a personality, and appreciate individual flare. We believe in creating the kind of environment where success is magnified through mutual endeavour, understanding what the customer wants, and being nimble enough to pounce on opportunities as they present themselves, or are sought out.

LEDA’S UK Influence
In a busy marketplace of corporate companies and device distributors, LEDA Orthopaedics strives to stand apart from the crowd. We are a family business, UK-based, who understand what our customers want from a medical device partner. Our motto of “Speed Dial Service” means our surgeon customers have our number to hand when they need to perform a specialist operation. They contact their local rep, who organises the required kit with our warehouse team. We ship the kit immediately and the surgeon can rely on our clinical support team to be there to assist in any way. We offer professional medical educational courses in the UK and overseas, allowing our surgeons to be fully trained in the products we provide. We add value to their orthopaedic surgery practice.
If you would like to join our team, we recruit talent with years of experience in the industry, as well as running an apprenticeship scheme to give ambitious young people a chance to thrive in this exciting industry. Contact us to learn more about the opportunities available. If you are a manufacturer looking to partner with a company that can give your product range immediate, professional exposure, with established routes to market and a passion for education and development, drop us a line to arrange a meeting.
Finally, many people ask us: “How did you come up with the name LEDA?” Lesa is Dave’s wife’s name. Dawn is Jon’s wife. We took LE and DA from their first names and LEDA was born. We have never looked back!
Who are LEDA Orthopaedics?
LEDA Orthopaedics is a family-owned UK medical device distributor specialising in upper-limb trauma, hand surgery prostheses and niche orthopaedic solutions. We were established in 2013 and operate from our office and warehouse in Cambridgeshire.
What makes LEDA different from other orthopaedic distributors?
Unlike large corporate distributors, LEDA is an independent specialist with deep clinical knowledge and a personal “Speed Dial Service” approach. Surgeons can contact their local representative directly for rapid support, and we focus only on carefully selected innovative products.
What is the LEDA Speed Dial Service?
The Speed Dial Service means surgeons have their local LEDA representative’s number ready when they need specialist kit. The rep then coordinates with our warehouse team so the required equipment is organised quickly for the procedure.
