Making the world healthier
Caring for patients
Smiths Medical has extended its range of advanced airway management devices to assist anaesthetists in difficult airway procedures. Our new ambulatory infusion pump gives greater mobility to people with chronic illness by delivering drugs on the go, while the most recent innovation in our infusion technology helps prevent accidental overdoses.
Advancing medical devices
Smiths Interconnect puts its advanced connector technology to work to improve life-saving medical devices. Our high-speed connectors help MRI systems give a better view of internal organs. They also help defibrillators revive heart attack victims, electronic catheters map the electrical impulses of the heart and patient monitors keep an eye on blood pressure or oxygen levels.
Smiths helps doctors and nurses deliver medication, provide vital care and stay safe themselves. Our devices help relieve pain, treat cancer and deliver insulin. Our products manage airways during surgery, aid patients with breathing difficulties, maintain body temperature, monitor vital signs and assist reproduction through IVF. Our safety devices help to prevent needlestick injuries and reduce cross infections.
