About

Physio-Control, now part of Stryker, specializes in emergency medical equipment, particularly portable defibrillation and automated CPR devices. Founded in 1955 by Dr. Karl William Edmark, the company made significant advancements in cardiac care with the introduction of the first direct current (DC) defibrillator, which allowed for controlled shocks to restore heartbeats. The Lifepak product line, launched in 1968, was the first lightweight, portable defibrillator/monitor, enhancing emergency cardiac care. Lifepak devices have evolved to include features like electrocardiogram (ECG) recorders and user-friendly automated external defibrillators (AEDs) that provide clear instructions for use by minimally trained individuals. Physio-Control's products are utilized by emergency medical services, hospitals, and community responders, reflecting the company's commitment to improving emergency response technologies and supporting caregivers in critical situations.
