Smith & Nephew Healthcare
As a 160 years old UK-headquartered medical devices manufacturer and multinational organization, Smith & Nephew supports healthcare professionals in more than 100 countries in their daily efforts to improve the lives of their patients.
We are one of the global leaders in:
- Orthopaedics Reconstruction – joint replacement systems for knees, hips and shoulders
- Advanced Wound Management – wound care treatment and prevention products used to treat hard-to-heal wounds
- Sports Medicine – minimally invasive surgery of the joints
- Trauma & Extremities – products that help repair fractures and deformities
With our annual sales of close to 4.6 billion USD (2015), we have around 15,000 employees around the world, who embody Innovation, Trust and Performance as the core values of Smith & Nephew.
We are a constituent of the UK’s FTSE100 and our shares are traded on the London Stock Exchange and through American Depository Receipts on the New York Stock Exchange.
Smith & Nephew has frequently made it to the Forbes’ list of the World’s 100 Most Innovative Companies (2013, 2015, 2016).
Smith & Nephew takes a pioneering approach to the design of our advanced medical products and services, by securing wider access to our diverse technologies for more customers globally, and by enabling better outcomes for patients and healthcare systems. Our recent initiatives include the launch of our mid-tier value segment of products in orthopedics and wound management (which includes the legacy range of our acquired Sushrut-Adler business in India), acquisitions of Arthrocare (to strengthen our performance in Sports Medicine) and Blue Belt Technologies (giving us a leading position in the fast-growing area of robotics-assisted orthopaedic surgery). In addition, we make major investments in R&D as well as Educational platforms and Evidence generation, which have been our major drivers in India and emerging markets, where providing affordable quality healthcare, training and product and business model innovations are the key to growth.
A testament to the positive difference that we have made is our recent recognition (2016) by the Economic Times as one of the Best Healthcare Brands in India.
