Trio Healthcare, founded in 2006 by Lloyd Pearce, is a UK-based company specializing in ostomy care accessories. The company develops and manufactures products using its proprietary Sil2™ breathable silicone technology, designed to be gentler on the skin compared to traditional hydrocolloid-based products. The product line aims to reduce skin irritation and improve the quality of life for individuals with a stoma, such as those with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease.
The company's offerings include silicone-based seals, adhesive removers, skin barriers, and gels, such as Trio Siltac™, Trio Silken™, and Trio Elite®. These products are designed to create a secure, breathable seal around the stoma to prevent leaks and skin damage without absorbing moisture like conventional alternatives. The company's focus is on providing solutions for peristomal skin health, moving beyond simply being accessories to stoma bags.
Lloyd Pearce founded Trio with a personal motivation, having family members who are ostomates and recognizing a need for product innovation in a market that had seen little change for decades. In 2019, healthcare executives Richard Anderson and Spencer Kerry acquired a majority stake in the business. The company has received funding from SWK Holdings Corporation and HSBC UK to expand its manufacturing facilities in Skipton, UK. In December 2024, the private equity firm Duke Street acquired the assets of Trio Healthcare in parallel with ForLife Group to create a larger European ostomy care entity, aiming to expand the distribution of Trio's silicone technology.
The business operates in the global ostomy market, estimated to be worth $3 billion, by distributing its products to various countries. Its business model involves research and development, manufacturing, and distribution of its specialized ostomy supplies. The company sells directly to consumers and through dispensing suppliers and ostomy delivery companies.
