Johnson & Johnson MedTech is working to solve the world’s most pressing healthcare challenges through innovations at the intersection of biology and technology. Within Ethicon, the company’s global leader in surgery, they harness deep expertise in surgery to design surgical solutions that are smarter, less invasive, and more personalized. The company aspires to elevate standards of care and create a healthier future for the patients of today and tomorrow.
Innovation
In collaboration with clinicians and healthcare experts, Ethicon develops clinically differentiated surgical technologies to help address some of the most pressing healthcare challenges of our time such as metabolic disease, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.
In the operating room, the company is enabling treatments to be delivered exactly where they’re needed, for example through stapling technology that improves surgeon handling of varying tissue and is designed to simultaneously improve visibility and access. Also, through advanced energy devices that minimize tissue damage from the effects of heat during vessel sealing. Ethicon is making people feel whole again by bolstering the body’s own restoring mechanisms through the use of synthetic or natural biomaterials that stop bleeds and anchor implants during surgery, close wounds, and prevent leaks post-surgery. Ethicon innovation is reimaging how patients heal.
Talent Development
Attracting, developing, retaining, and inspiring the best people globally is crucial to all aspects of Johnson & Johnson, including Ethicon. The company promotes a culture of respect, inclusion, and excellence, inspired by their Credo, so that the talent of every individual can be leveraged to ensure the company, surrounding communities, environment, and individual employees can thrive and grow.
Johnson & Johnson continues to invest heavily in a wide variety of learning and development programs that help employees realize their career goals while building a capable and resilient workforce for the future.
Social Responsibility
Johnson & Johnson’s long-held belief is that creating societal value is inextricably linked with generating long-term business value. The company aspires to positively impact patients, consumers, and all others that it serves with life-saving medicines, products, and devices, as well as the health of its employees, communities, and the planet.
Johnson & Johnson focuses its efforts on areas where it is uniquely positioned to achieve the greatest impact—championing global health equity, empowering its employees, and advancing environmental health. Leading with accountability and innovation is foundational to these efforts and essential to creating a virtuous circle that creates economic, environmental, and social value for all those they serve.
Ethicon and Johnson & Johnson is exceptionally proud of its partnership with Operation Smile. For 35 years, Johnson & Johnson has helped Operation Smile bring hundreds of thousands of new smiles to children and young adults born with cleft lip, cleft palate, and other facial anomalies.
