"To understand the story of CR Bard is to realize that the legacy of 100 years lives on.

That the people who came before are still with you... our passion and spirit remain as

the power of the past,
the force of the future!"

- from The Power of the Past, the Force of the Future, 2007

For a century, Bard has developed innovative medical technologies that promote improved healthcare delivery worldwide. As a market leader in Urology, Oncology, Vascular, and Surgical Specialties, we have pioneered such devices as the Foley catheter, the heart-pacing catheter, the arterial prosthesis and the angioplasty catheter, just to name a few.

We've accomplished much throughout our history, and are equally committed to the future. As we continue to bring innovative, life-enhancing products to patients throughout the world, we expect our second century to be as noteworthy as our first.
