The first clinical use of Medicinal leeches Hirudo medicinalis occurred approximately 2500 years ago. This small invertebrate is particularly valuable for plastic and reconstructive surgery since it can produce a small bleeding wound that mimics a venous circulation in an area of compromised tissue. The leech produces a number of important substances which contribute to the special property of the bite, including an anticoagulant, a local vasodilator and local anaesthetic. And also leeches are used in cosmetics and pharmacology. The first clinical use of Medicinal leeches Hirudo medicinalis occurred approximately 2500 years ago.

In the year 2003, we started to sell Medicinal leech in Turkey and overseas, and started to research hirudotherapy, using Medicinal leeches in pharmacy & cosmetics and breeding leeches. After 5 years of continuous researches and experiments, we acquired singnificant knowledge about these themes and finally started to breed Medicinal leeches Hirudo medicinalis, Hirudo verbana under sterile laboratory conditions.
