WHERE WE COME FROM

Our History

It all began with a simple splint.

DePuy Synthes was born in 1895, when Revra DePuy had the idea to manufacture fiber splints that could be customized to fit individual patients, a notable improvement over the wooden splints commonly used at the time.
 
Little did he know that this simple innovation would lead to him opening the world’s very first orthopaedic manufacturing business, and ultimately help millions of people keep moving.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

Social Responsibility

We are inspired to be good citizens of the world.

Our Credo challenges us to put the needs and well-being of the people we serve first. That means we are responsible to the communities in which we live and work and the global community as a whole.

We must be good citizens, encourage civic improvements, better health and education, and maintain the property we are privileged to use by protecting the environment and its natural resources.
