About Us
Fisher & Paykel Healthcare is a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of products and systems for use in acute and chronic respiratory care, surgery and the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. Driven by a strong sense of purpose, we are working to improve patient care and outcomes through inspired and world-leading healthcare solutions. The needs of our customers and their patients drive everything we do. We call this commitment Care by Design.
Our medical devices and technologies help clinicians deliver the best possible patient care. They enable patients to transition into less-acute care settings, recover more quickly and avoid more serious conditions. Because of our products and therapies, many patients can be treated in the comfort of their own homes instead of in the hospital. Not only does this make life better for the patient, it reduces costs for the world’s healthcare systems.
Product innovation has been the cornerstone of our success since 1969, when our first prototype respiratory humidifier was developed. Today, we are still striving to lead the way in the development of medical devices and technologies by continuously improving our products, pioneering new therapies, and changing clinical practice.
