ConvaTec is a global medical technology business focused on serving people and care givers in the areas of advanced wound care, ostomy care, continence and critical care and infusion care. We are committed to helping people with deeply personal and challenging medical conditions lead the life they want – helping them improve care for them and giving them greater confidence, freedom and mobility. With a history of industry-leading innovation, our story begins in the laboratory of a brilliant scientist, Dr. James Chen of E.R. Squibb & Sons in the 1960s. His years of research exploring hundreds of formulations led to the invention of the first hydrocolloid medical adhesive for use in dental surgery. With this new technology in mind - our first product, Stomahesive® skin barrier, revolutionised ostomy care and established our reputation as an innovator of skin adhesives. Since then, our product portfolio grew to include a complete ostomy care line and advanced wound care line. The same spirit of inventiveness and collaboration continues amongst our ~9,000 employees serving care givers, patients and customers globally. Our Vision is to develop "pioneering trusted medical solutions to improve the lives we touch".
