Who is Stryker/Sage Products?
Sage Products was founded in 1971 by Vince Foglia and Paul Hills. For over 45 years, Sage was a leading developer of innovative products and proprietary solutions designed to help improve outcomes for patients and clinicians in healthcare facilities before becoming part of Stryker in 2016. When Dr. Homer Stryker, an orthopaedic surgeon from Kalamazoo, Michigan, found that certain medical products were not meeting his patients’ needs, he invented new ones. As interest in these products grew, Dr. Stryker started a company in 1941 to produce them. Today, Stryker is one of the world’s leading medical technology companies and, together with our customers, we are driven to make healthcare better. The Company offers a diverse array of innovative products and services in Medical and Surgical, Neurotechnology, Orthopaedics and Spine that help improve patient and healthcare outcomes. Alongside our customers around the world, Stryker impacts more than 130 million patients annually.
