Many first-year students have a pretty good idea of how the diagnostic instruments
pictured in this catalog are used. But most of you may not know the answer to at
least one important question: Who is Welch Allyn?
The company was founded in 1915 by Dr. Francis A. Welch and William Noah Allyn when they introduced the first handheld, direct-illuminating ophthalmoscope. More importantly, they introduced ophthalmoscopy to the general practitioner-in a sense creating a new window to view the patients's eye as well as overall health.
Today, Welch Allyn continues to be family owned and operated. Its Medical Division produces more than 100 products and accessories. And, the formula for the company's success remains the same as when it was founded: solid distribution, product differentiation, worldclass quality and innovation!
In addition to its headquarters and two manufacturing facilities in Skaneateles Falls, New York, Welch Allyn has plants in North Carolina, California, New Hampshire, Canada, Ireland, and Germany. And with sales and service locations worldwide, Welch Allyn products are available wherever your practice takes you.
Some important advances in medical diagnostic instruments pioneered by Welch Allyn include:
Welch Allyn is concerned for the health of our environment as well as the health of people. For this reason, Welch Allyn uses environmentally safe manufacturing processes, recycled or recyclable packaging materials and offers a battery recycling program.
Welch Allyn has been dedicated to excellence for 80 years-and it shows. In 1994, for example, three of its engineers received the coveted Holley Metal from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers for the development of video endoscopes, which have revolutionized endoscopy worldwide. These engineers now join the ranks of other prestigious award winners such as Elmer Sperry, Henry Ford, and Solchiro Honda.
That's Welch Allyn.
