COVER STORY - ADVE RT I S ING FEATUR E
From product supplier to a trusted partner
Much has happened since Getinge appeared on the front cover of The Clinical Services Journal’s first ever issue in 2002. In these 20 years, the company has transitioned from selling products to a trusted partner with customer focused solutions that contribute to quality enhancements and cost efficiencies for healthcare systems in the UK, Ireland and the world.
“Our solutions are designed to help healthcare providers improve patient outcomes, drive efficiency, and maximise their return on investment,” says Avril Forde, president North Europe and managing director of Getinge UK & Ireland. She continues: “With a global network
of experts and 25,000 customers across 120 countries, we can offer our partners valuable insights from all over the world – and our local teams are always ready to help anytime, anywhere, with a deep understanding of the market and the unique needs of each customer’s facilities.” Getinge has grown considerably, mainly through acquisitions, over the last two decades. In 2000, the acquisition of Maquet enabled the Swedish-based enterprise to start provisioning operating theatres, and the expansion continued with the integration of several companies within OR equipment and critical care. Since 2008, Getinge has also contributed to clinical progress in the field of cardiology with acquisitions such as Datascope and Atrium. Five years ago, this family of healthcare and life science brands – including Maquet, Lancer, Atrium, Pulsion, Datascope, Steritec, Stericool, Trans and others – were merged into one single Getinge brand. The recent acquisition of Applikon Biotechnology in 2020 strengthens the offering of advanced bioreactor systems from research to production within the Life Science area. “We have an extensive brand portfolio with products, solutions and services for Intensive Care, Operating Theatres, Sterile Reprocessing, Cardiovascular procedures and Life Science. Our purpose is as true today as it has always been – we want to empower our customers with the knowledge, expertise, technology and resources to save lives. Our
brand promise of Passion for Life is not just words; it’s at the heart of everything we do,” says Tracey Dawe, director marketing communications North Europe.
Combining industry-leading solutions into a holistic offering Getinge’s Intensive Care portfolio includes innovative life-supporting products and solutions for ICUs and intensive care transport that can improve clinicians’ ability to save more lives and reduce long- term complications. The Operating Room offering features advanced life-saving therapies and equipment, digital patient management, and the design and implementation of both standard and hybrid operating rooms made to handle a broad range of procedures and patient needs. Getinge has been working with Sterile
Reprocessing since the early 1930s and, presently, the company offers customised and flexible solutions for the complete CSSD, including equipment, consumables and software that can enable hospitals to increase throughput of sterile instruments with the highest level of infection control. Within Cardiovascular Surgery, there are solutions for open-heart surgery, advanced monitoring technologies and minimally invasive therapies that help clinicians to conduct successful surgeries as well as to enhance visibility and awareness of patient status. Finally, the Life Science business area
covers a complete range of sterilisation equipment and transfer systems for pharmaceutical production and medical research institutes, customisable and designed for end-to-end contamination free processes and workflows. “Our vision is to become the world’s most respected and trusted MedTech company,

and the ability to combine all our industry- leading solutions into one holistic offering, which can be individually tailored for the customer, is one of strongest assets,” Tracey Dawe explains.
