Hospital Technology: medical equipment, hospital supplies information directory, healthcare specialists, medical equipment manufacturers and suppliers

A newborn baby has her first checkup. A budding athlete gets his first A-OK. A new family begins. A loved-one fights a serious illness. A grandmother gets a clean bill of health. At every stage of life, Welch Allyn products are there, being relied on everyday by front-line physicians and practitioners around the world.

Welch Allyn takes this responsibility very seriously. Since 1915 when our founders, Dr. Francis A. Welch and William Noah Allyn, invented the first hand-held, direct illuminating ophthalmoscope, our goal has been, and continues to be, to design and build innovative, reliable, and affordable products that help physicians help people.

Helping people is a key for the Welch Allyn family. Each employee knows that the instruments he or she helped provide are in the hands of skilled physicians working with someone's little baby, son, daughter, spouse, parent, or grandparent. That makes us work very hard, very carefully, and very well.

You'll see this dedication in the innovative products we develop. And, our focus is not just on the latest technology, but on how we can make that technology easy-to-use, affordable, and comfortable for patients.

Our tradition of innovation has deep roots going back to our earliest days, and we continue to improve on our many patents and medical firsts.
