Our company was founded 80 years ago on the pillars of research, vision, innovation, and a commitment to improving the quality of patients’ lives. The first group of Ethicon scientists and researchers who thought about healing in a new way - and in doing so, pioneered our sutures to enhance the work of surgeons and the lives of patients - recognized the opportunity for limitless innovation.
Almost a century later, Ethicon produces much more than sutures. We have continuously introduced innovations in all areas where we focus our expertise including: wound closure; general surgery; biosurgery; women’s health, and aesthetic medicine.
While a lot has changed in healthcare, one thing has not: Ethicon remains committed to developing the best surgical solutions to help doctors heal both the wounds you can see and the ones you can’t.
Innovations that Restore Bodies...and Lives
How do we do it? How do we stay on the cutting edge of science?
By way of our greatest asset: the talented, highly educated, experienced group of professionals who work at ETHICON - 8,500 gifted professionals around the world come together every day to advance, innovate, and respond to their customers’ needs.
Our commitment to fulfilling the needs of surgeons and their patients, of transforming surgery, of helping patients heal faster and more safely is never ending. And so our work must be, too.
