Synthes is a leading global medical device company. We develop, produce and
market instruments, implants and biomaterials for the surgical fixation, correction
and regeneration of the human skeleton and its soft tissues. We are present
in every continent of the world and employ approximately 6400 employees.
Innovative pioneer
Products bearing the brand name Synthes are a familiar sight in virtually
every operating room. We are the world leader in traumatology, rank among
the top three companies for spinal devices and continue to remain at the forefront
of the cranio-maxillofacial business. However, we do not rest on these achievements.
We are an innovative pioneer in the field of biomaterials such as resorbable
implants and bone graft substitutes, and we lead the way in non-fusion technologies
by developing nucleus and total intervertebral disc replacements.
Quality, innovation and consistent customer orientation
By continuously developing better solutions, Synthes lays the foundations
for its excellent market position. Our goal is to provide the safest and most
advanced implants, instruments and technologies that ensure reliable operating
procedures, rapid recovery and a painfree life after surgery. We guarantee
high quality, constant innovation and consistent customer orientation. Working
closely together with surgeons in hospitals all over the world, our product
development teams of scientists, engineers and product managers identify real
clinical needs. This provides the basis for developing products with increased
benefits for patients, surgeons and OR personnel.
Medically approved products
Synthes and the AO Foundation cooperate in close partnership. AO stands for
“Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthese” (Association for the
Study of Osteosynthesis). In the surgical community, this non-profit, surgeon-guided
organization is seen as pioneer in terms of research, development, clinical
investigation and education in the treatment of fractures and disorders of
the locomotor system. Via a subsidiary, the AO Foundation holds the licenses
for all products with the brand name Synthes. As licensee, we develop, produce
and market these products. As a totally independent, medically guided institution,
the Technical Commission of the Foundation ensures that clinical studies are
performed to prove the validity and quality of every new product before it
receives the seal of approval of the Synthes brand. Because of this careful
scrutiny of all new instruments and implants, surgeons throughout the world
have great confidence in our products, knowing that such devices have been
thoroughly tested and evaluated.
