Applied Medical manufactures more than 20 million surgical devices annually for our customers around the world, helping us deliver on our mission of making a meaningful, positive difference in healthcare.
Over 400 million individual product components are produced by Applied Medical each year between our Southern California and Amersfoort advanced manufacturing facilities.
We are able to achieve our mission of delivering high-quality healthcare more affordably through our vertically integrated business model. This approach allows us to control every step of the manufacturing process, which in turn has a great impact on our costs and quality. As part of our commitment to quality, we are able to trace back every material and substance used in our products.
Applied Medical’s economic impact goes beyond our own low device prices. While competitive device makers historically increased their prices year-over-year without significant innovation introductions, as Applied Medical grew to become the market leader in categories, those same competitors were pressured to lower their device pricing in an effort to try to retain market share. This pricing drive back is known as “The Applied Effect” and has resulted in savings in the U.S. healthcare market of more than $4.7 billion since 2010.
