At Medtronic, research and development is not about innovation for innovation's sake but about enhancing the quality of life around the world. Patient needs are always at the center of our work. Here's proof.
INSPIRED TO PROVIDE BETTER PAIN MANAGEMENT
At Medtronic, we are aware no single entity can solve America’s opioid and pain crises alone. We invite healthcare leaders to learn how we are partnering to expand patient access to non-systemic opioid pain management options.
World’s Smallest Pacemaker Allows Minimally Invasive Approach
Why were our engineers thrilled to develop the world's smallest pacemaker? Because the pacemaker's size allows it to be placed into the heart using a minimally invasive approach, without wires running from the chest to the heart required by other pacemakers.
LEARN ABOUT THE WORLD'S SMALLEST PACEMAKERBetter Management of Diabetes
Medtronic scientists toiled for years, laser focused on a diabetic patient's need to monitor blood sugar. Their focus, tenacity, and math skills paid off when they developed a sophisticated algorithm to control the flow of insulin.
LATEST IN CHRONIC PAIN TREATMENT
The newest Medtronic spinal cord stimulator enables physicians to design an innovative treatment plan for chronic pain patients. Embedded technology collects quantitative data on a patient’s physical position, which can then be correlated with the patient’s subjective report of pain levels.
LEARN MOREReplacing Aortic Heart Valves — Without Surgery
Many patients are not good candidates for open-heart surgery. Like Ron. Ron's cardiothoracic surgeon replaced Ron's heart valve using a minimally invasive approach developed by Medtronic. Yet another example of how Medtronic tenacity and resourcefulness saves lives.
