Core Technologies
Since pioneering the use of electrical stimulation to treat irregular heart rates in the 1950s, we’ve developed several more core technologies, and applied them to numerous innovative medical therapies that alleviate pain, restore health, and extend life for millions of people around the world.
Electrical Stimulation
Using electricity to encourage normal physiology or suppress abnormal physiology.
Implantable Structural Devices
Devices that use mechanical principles and techniques – such as self-expanding metals, scaffolds, pumps, and valves – and materials that are nontoxic, sterilizable, and able to function inside the body.
Targeted Drug and Biologics Delivery
Devices that deliver medication or biologic agents directly where they are needed.
Powered and Advanced Energy Instruments
Surgical instruments that use power or advanced energies, such as radiofrequency or refrigerants, to remove or ablate tissue, or seal surgical incisions.
Surgical Navigation and Imaging
Image-guided systems and instrument-tracking technologies that allow surgeons to see better inside the body, or track their surgical instruments within the body, allowing them to perform more precise and less-invasive procedures.
Patient and Device Management
Instruments, devices, and information technologies that help healthcare professionals diagnose medical conditions, monitor and better manage a patient’s medical condition, or interrogate and program devices.
