POWERING THE HEALTH TECHNOLOGY THAT EMPOWERS YOU

 

We work round-the-clock to create technologies that do the same to help you live your best life. It's our calling. Our HeartMate 3 LVAD heart pumps keep blood flowing while our Infinity Deep Brain Stimulation helps keep tremors at bay. Our Libre Sense biosensors are showing humans around the globe how far they can go — and how fast they can get there — while our Gallant ICDs for heart arrythmias can connect you remotely to your doctor via the myMerlinPulse app. And our virtual and augmented realities? They're connecting healthcare providers to the people and training they need to deliver their best care. It's all designed by inextricably linking our innovations to one simple goal: Create technologies that are affordable, accessible and available to help billions more live their best lives. It’s why we're here.
