Baxter International Inc. is a global healthcare company that develops and supplies medical products and technologies used in hospitals, outpatient facilities, physician offices and other care settings. Its offerings include intravenous therapy products and infusion systems, injectable medications and drug-compounding technologies, surgical products, patient-monitoring systems, respiratory-care equipment, and products used in hospital beds and connected-care environments.
The company serves healthcare providers and patients in numerous countries, with operations and customers across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa. Baxter’s products are designed to support medication delivery, fluid management, clinical nutrition, surgery, patient monitoring and other essential aspects of care.
Founded in 1931, Baxter has expanded through the development and acquisition of medical technologies and healthcare businesses. The company was historically also a major provider of products for kidney-care and renal-therapy services, but it announced the sale of its Kidney Care business, now known as Vantive, as part of a strategy to focus on its core hospital and medical-product operations.
