PRECISION DIPPINGS & BLOCCS

First established more than 50 years ago, Bristol-based PDM specialises in making bespoke rubber-dipped products for clients worldwide. The company has also won a 2016 Queen’s Award for Innovation – the equivalent of a business Oscar – for its very successful Bloccs waterproof arm and leg protectors.

Now selling via Boots online, Lloyds Pharmacy, Superdrug, Amazon and direct from their own website, Bloccs keep plastercasts and wound dressings completely dry – allowing adults and children to bathe, swim and shower normally.
