A Trusted Partner for Healthcare Professionals
For over 50 years, Scarboroughs has been a trusted supplier of acupuncture needles, electroacupuncture equipment and clinical supplies to healthcare professionals across the UK.
Established in 1974, we are now proudly led by the second generation of the Scarborough family, continuing the values of quality, reliability and exceptional customer service that have been at the heart of our business from the very beginning.
"Our mission is simple: to provide healthcare professionals with trusted products, expert advice and exceptional service, helping them deliver the very best care to every patient"
Over the decades, Scarboroughs has grown from a specialist supplier into a trusted partner for the NHS, the Ministry of Defence (MOD), acupuncture teaching organisations—including the British Medical Acupuncture Society—as well as multidisciplinary clinics, universities, students and independent practitioners.
Quality You Can Depend On
We understand that practitioners rely on products that deliver consistent performance and inspire confidence in every treatment. That's why every product we stock is carefully selected for its quality, safety and reliability.
Our range includes sterile acupuncture needles from globally respected manufacturers including Seirin, Tewa and Dong Bang, together with our own carefully selected range of high-quality, competitively priced needles and clinic essentials.
We are also one of the UK's leading distributors of electroacupuncture equipment, supplying trusted devices from ITO, Sedatelec and the AS Super 4.
Whether you're ordering everyday consumables or investing in specialist equipment, you can be confident that every product has been chosen with practitioner confidence in mind.

Committed to a More Sustainable Future
Scarboroughs is proudly based at Pineapple Business Park in the Dorset countryside, where sustainability is a key part of the estate's ethos.
The business park is powered by a 91 kW on-site solar energy system, generating over 30% of the estate's electricity from renewable solar power. Any additional electricity is sourced from renewable energy suppliers, helping to reduce our environmental impact.
As an ISO-accredited company, we are committed to continually improving our environmental performance and reducing our carbon footprint. We believe that making responsible choices today helps create a healthier future for our business, our customers and the environment.
Looking Ahead
While much has changed since 1974, our commitment has remained the same: providing healthcare professionals with trusted products, exceptional service and the support they need to deliver outstanding patient care.
As a family business, we value the trust our customers place in us every day. We look forward to continuing to support practitioners across the UK with the same dedication, expertise and personal service that have defined Scarboroughs for more than 50 years.
Thank you for choosing Scarboroughs. We look forward to supporting your practice for many years to come.
