Patient impact
Together with our customers, we are driven to make healthcare better. Our customers and their patients are at the heart of everything we do.
Sandy survived a stroke
Every 40 seconds in the U.S. someone suffers a stroke. And it is a leading cause of disability. Evidence from our DAWN trial led to a new 24-hour treatment window for the Trevo Retriever, offering more patients the opportunity for treatment.
“I appreciate every moment, every step that I climb . . . . Because I know, now, what I lost and got back.”

Robert took control of his knee pain
Total knee replacements in the U.S. are expected to increase 673% by 2030.1 Through CT-based 3D modeling of a patient’s bone anatomy, surgeons use our Mako System to create a personalized surgical plan, virtually modify the surgical plan intra-operatively and assist with executing bone resections.
“I was active my whole life . . . . At some point the pain became so unbearable I felt it was time to start looking into my options.”

Dr. Hedley stopped surgical smoke in his OR
A single day in the OR can have the same impact as smoking 27 cigarettes2 due to surgical smoke emitted during operating procedures. Exposure carries risks of chronic bronchitis, carcinoma, leukemia, cardiovascular disfunction and more. We developed the Pneumoclear and Neptune E-SEP which are aimed at addressing these risks and can help protect patients and staff in the OR.
“I was on oxygen 24/7 . . . . I was dying, I knew that.”
