Product milestones
In 2022, Getinge passed
important milestones for
several popular products, where
the company is a pioneer and
continues to lead the develop-
ment. These products include
sterilizers that have been manu-
factured for 90 years, Servo,
which over 50 years ago became
the world's first flow-controlled
ventilator, and PiCCO, a tech-
nology for advanced monitoring
that was introduced to the
market 25 years ago.
For a better future
In collaboration with customers and partners, Getinge is working
toward a more sustainable society in which everybody has access
to the best possible healthcare. Getinge is also striving toward the
overall target of becoming carbon neutral in its own operations
by 2025. During the year, Getinge entered into a partnership with
the International Finance Corporation (IFC) to increase access to
medical equipment in Africa and, during the year, medical devices
were also donated to the Heart Institute of Ukraine. Getinge
also announced its support of the American Heart Association's
initiative to develop healthcare for patients with cardiogenic
shock as a result of acute heart failure. An increasing number of
production facilities have invested in solar panels and Getinge
employees are now offered the opportunity to get paid time off
work to carry out volunteer work.
Acquisitions
In January, a minor acquisition
was completed of Munich-
based Irasun GmbH, which
develops products for venous
drainage and temperature
control, that can be used in
combination with heart-lung
machines and equipment for
extracorporeal life support
(ECLS).
In July, Getinge completed
the acquisition of FLUOPTICS
SAS, a France-based leader in
fluorescence imaging as an aid
to surgery.
New ways to experience the portfolio
Π
Getinge opened a new Experience Center in Frankfurt where
visitors can interact with healthcare solutions in a real-life
environment. At the same time, Getinge's virtual hospital, which
offers a comprehensive online experience of the solutions,
was expanded.
