Baxter is a global leader in technologies related to the blood and circulatory system. The company’s blood therapies businesses produce products that collect, separate and store blood, as well as therapeutic proteins derived from blood and their genetically engineered equivalents. Its renal products cleanse the blood. Intravenous (IV) products infuse drugs and other solutions into the blood.
|
|
Throughout its history, Baxter has capitalised on expertise in select core technologies to develop a steady stream of product innovations across businesses. Because many of these products are based on related technologies, they are produced in the same manufacturing plants. The company further leverages its expertise geographically, extending the reach of its life-saving products to patients around the world. Baxter currently operates in over 110 countries worldwide.
